* Final Report *

Compared to last week, not enough steers and heifers for a market test. However a higher trend was noted on 700 lb to 900 lb steers. Demand was good. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold 5.00 higher on a very limited supply.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
