As filed

Compared to the last reported sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold steady to spots 5.00 higher. Some bigger groups of long weaned calves in very attractive condition were offered which made for an active market. Demand was moderate to very good for a moderate supply with the thinner grazing calves seeing the best demand. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly 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.
