As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves sold mostly steady, instances 7.00 higher on 400-450 lbs. Heifer calves were 2.00-8.00 lower. Feeder steers 600-650 lbs traded steady; 650-700 lbs 8.00-9.00 lower; over 700 lbs not well tested. Feeder heifers 600-650 lbs traded 3.00-4.00 higher; over 650 lbs not well tested. Trade and demand moderate. Receipts were very light due to snow and very cold temperatures. Slaughter cows and bulls were not well tested on very light offerings.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
