As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers sold steady to 10.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold unevenly from 8.00 lower to 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 higher with slaughter bulls selling steady. Supply was moderate with very good demand. Much needed rain brought a large crowd ringside for active bidding. A package of Charolais bulls calves weighing 204 lbs. sold for 750.00 per head.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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