As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady to 2.00 higher on comparable sales. Slaughter cows and bulls traded sharply lower on a light test. Trading activity was moderate to active on moderate to good buyer demand. Portions of the Panhandle and West Texas have received some drought relief in the form of Monsoonal rains. However, extreme heat has returned to the area and much of the South, with daily temperatures expected to match or come come close to previous record highs.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
