As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers unevenly steady. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs steady to 5.00 lower, over 600 lbs 3.00-5.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Supply light. The latest administration talk about addressing high beef prices rocked the board Friday and sent the most recent feeder index down over 3.00/cwt although futures contracts have seen a modest rebound to start the week.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
