As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers 450-600 lbs 10.00-15.00 higher with other weights steady to firm on a light test. Feeder heifers 500-600 lbs 4.00-8.00 higher with other weights steady to firm on a light test. Slaughter cows 4.00-5.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply moderate. Very active trade on the lighter steers again this week with even some high quality unweaned calves finding lots of demand. Most feeder contracts made strong advances Tuesday although the feeder index has actually lost around 4.00/cwt over the past week.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
