As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly firm to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls traded firm to 2.00 higher. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Hotter than average temperatures accompanied by high winds plagued the region over the weekend, but cooler temperatures and a chance of rain are in the forecast for Wednesday and Thursday.

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
