As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded steady to firm. Heifer calves traded 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Not enough comparable sales from the previous week on steer calves for a market trend. Slaughter cows and bulls traded 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Trading activity was moderate to active on very good buyer demand. Hotter than average temperatures moved into the region, topping out at 106 degrees over the weekend.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
