As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers and heifers 3.00-8.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Several consignments of nice five weight grazing cattle this week along with some packages of new crop calves that also found strong demand. Special cow sale followed the feeders with several good bred cows and pairs.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
