As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers and heifers 6.00-15.00 higher with several heifers 525-625 lbs fully 20.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand very good. Supply heavy. The bullishness is back in the feeder market in a big way with big gains seen on top of the advances of last week. Lots of nice cattle offering quality and condition with more of the same expected for next weeks sale.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Bulls	—	High	1,797	113.18	2,034	8thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,669	107.58	1,796	5thin

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.
