As filed

Compared to the last tested market four weeks ago, steer calves sold sharply lower and yearlings sharply higher. Heifers not well tested but sold with a lower undertone. Several small strings of unweaned calves were in town but the overwhelming majority of the cattle on offer were load lots of 6-plus weight backgrounded steers, including 4 loads from 850-875 lbs which tacked on another 12.00 to 15.00. Supply moderate, demand moderate for calves, very good for yearlings.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
