Good day, as compared to the last market feeder calves were 3-5 higher slaughter cows 3-5 higher and bulls 3-8 higher. Just wanted to show you a few figures from today a 1760 lb. bull brought 1.65 per lb. that is $ 2,904.00 and a 1540 lb. cow @ 1.45 a lb. is $ 2,233.00 that just shows that these stock cows are not to high. Some calf figures, a group of 628 lb. weaned steers @ 3.00 a lb. that is $ 1,884.00 per calf 680 lb. heifer calf @ 2.45 per lb. = $ 1,666.00 and last a group of 549 lb. steers @ $ 3.10= $ 1,702 pretty good money for these calves. The markets really good.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
