As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded steady to firm. Steer calves sold mostly 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Not enough comparable sales on feeder heifers for a market trend. Slaughter cows and bulls traded steady to 2.00 lower. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
