* Note * Pratt Livestock will have a special bred cow and bred heifer sale next Thursday November 21 *

* Final Report *

Compared to last week, no recent comparison on feeder steers and heifers 700 lb to 975 lb, however a definite higher trend was noted. Steer and heifer calves 400 lb to 700 lb sold steady to 10.00 higher., in places up to 20.00 higher on fancy weaned calves. Highlight of the day was 8 steers weighing 378 lb sold for 402. Also 63 steers weighing 916 lb sold for 267. Demand was good. Slaughter cows sold steady. Slaughter bulls sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
