As filed

Compared to last Saturday feeder steers sold steady to 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower. There was good demand for the higher quality, weaned, and vaccinated calves. Moderate demand for the plainer, fleshy, and off colored calves. Volatility in the CME futures still putting pressure on the markets and demand. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower. There was good demand for slaughter classes.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
