As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold 6.00-8.00 lower. Feeder heifers and bull calves traded sharply lower. Feeder calf buyers are still showing concerns for calf health due to the weather and the prices are reflecting those concerns. Slaughter cows sold 5.00-7.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 3.00-5.00 higher on a better quality offering.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
