* Final report *

Compared to last week, not enough feeder steers and heifers 600 lb to 950 lb for a market test, however a lower trend was noted. Steer and heifer calves 350 lb to 600 lb sold 10.00 to 30.00 lower, however load lots of reputation calves, and fancy thin calves sold 10.00 to 20.00 higher. Demand was good for thin and fancy calves, moderate otherwise. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
