As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers sharply lower overall, with feeder heifers 3.00 lower, and feeder bulls weighing up to 450 lbs. mostly steady and those weighing over 450 lbs. sharply lower. Decreased demand was noted due, in part, to extreme heat wave. Slaughter cows gauging 4.00 to 8.00 higher with slaughter bulls mostly steady.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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