As filed

Compared to last week: No trend on feeder steers due to low receipts. Feeder heifers sold unevenly steady and bull calves were 6.00-8.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-4.00 higher and no test on slaughter bulls.

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
