As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers for a market trend. Steer and heifer calves traded mostly steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 1.00 to 2.00 lower. Trading activity was moderate to active on moderate to good buyer demand. Larger discounts were noted for unweaned or short weaned calves as a cold front with the possibility of snow is forecasted to move into the region over the weekend and into next week.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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