As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers traded mostly steady to firm. Feeder heifers traded firm to 5.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves traded 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Not enough comparable sales on slaughter cows and bulls for a market trend. Quality was very attractive with the majority of the supply consisting of load lots of yearlings straight off the grass and large groups of really nice weaned calves. Trading activity was active on very good buyer demand.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
