As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold 7.00-9.00 higher except the 400-500 lb. steers and they sharply lower due to lower quality when compared to last week. Feeder heifers traded unevenly steady and bull calves were 6.00-8.00 lower. An average quality offering today saw good demand from the feeder buyers. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 3.00-5.00 lower on a light test.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
