As filed

Compared to last week: No test on feeder steers due to low receipts. Feeder heifers sold steady to 4.00 higher and bull calves were 6.00-8.00 higher. Demand for feeder cattle was moderate on an average quality offering. Slaughter cows and bulls sold fully steady.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
