Good day, as compared to the last market feeder steers were steady and heifers 5-7 higher. Slaughter cows were 5-10 higher and bulls were 5-10 higher as well. Highest slaughter cattle I have seen. Sold a nice group of heifers black hides average weight 559 lbs. @ $2.82= 1,576.38 per head. Pretty dang good.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
