Good day, as compared to the last market feeder calves were steady, and slaughter cows and bulls were steady as well. They had a stock cow sale over the weekend and cows did very good had some good pairs with big calves and bred back bring up to $ 3500.00 a pair.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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