As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers unevenly steady. Slaughter cows steady to firm. Demand moderate to good. Lighter run with some nice cattle but some consignments seeing discounts for quality or fescue hair. The fed cattle market is seeing some pressure with cutout values losing ground and the feedlot trade likely to be lower this week.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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