Special Cow Sale this Saturday, November 22nd. 4:00pm

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold 5.00 lower to 10.00 higher. The majority of the feeders were less attractive compared to last weeks feeder offering, therefore some comparisons were not determined. Supply was light to moderate with buyer demand being very good. Slaughter cows were trading steady to 3.00 higher, bulls traded mostly steady.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
