As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers over 700 lbs sold 5.00 to 20.00 higher and heifers over 700 lbs sold steady to 20.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves, not enough for market test. Boning utility sold steady to weak and Lean utility sold steady to strong. Good demand for light supply.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
