As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers mostly steady. Slaughter cows 5.00-7.00 higher. Demand good. Lighter run with a nice offering of feeders expected next week. Live and feeder contracts both had a big up day Tuesday thanks largely to early week advances in beef cutout values.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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