As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold 4.00-6.00 lower with the yearling calves being 9.00-10.00 lower. Feeder heifers traded 6.00-8.00 lower with the lightweight calves sharply lower. The combination of the falling futures market pressure, weather and plain calf quality is continuing to negatively affect the feeder markets. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
