As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 400 lbs were not well tested. Steer calves 400-500 lbs unevenly steady to 2.00 higher, while 500-600 lbs steers were steady. Heifer calves 400-500 lbs traded 5.00 - 6.00 higher, with 500-600 lbs calves 7.00- 8.00 higher. Feeder steers 600-700 lbs were 5.00-6.00 higher, while steers over 700 lbs had insufficient numbers to compare. Feeder heifers 600-700 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher, with 700-800 lb heifers 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold 5.00-10.00 higher, while slaughter bulls were steady to 1.00 higher.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Replacement cattle Per head
