As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold sharply lower on a light test. Feeder heifers sold 10.00-12.00 lower. A small offering today due to very warm temperatures along with the futures trading sliding downward in the last couple of days softened demand for feeders significantly. Slaughter cows traded 6.00-8.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 4.00-6.00 higher.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
