*Final*

Compared to last week, Feeder Steers sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher and Feeder Heifers sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Not enough Steer and Heifer calves for a accurate market test, a higher trend was noted. Demand is good. Slaughter Cows and Bulls sold steady to 1.00 lower.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
