As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers sold 3.00 to 4.00 higher. No comparison for feeder steers due to light receipts this week. Demand for feeder cattle was mostly moderate for very light offerings. Quality was mostly plain to average. Weigh up cows and bulls comprised most of the offering today, selling on good demand. Slaughter cows sold uneven; leans steady to 1.00 lower, boners and breakers 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeding cows sold on very good demand at 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Cow quality this week was mostly very attractive with many long strings of cows off reputation ranches. Slaughter bulls sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Young stock cows sold on a light test, though a firm undertone was noted.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
