As filed

Compared to the last trended sale two weeks ago, feeder steers under 500 lbs steady to 5.00 lower, over 500 lbs steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 4.00 higher with advance over 500 lbs. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher compared to last week. Several nice consignments in the feeder offering this week. There didn't seem to be much spillover in the cash feeder trade as nervousness in the financial sector sent the stock market, cattle futures and crude oil all lower Wednesday.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

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