As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers traded mostly 1.00 lower. Not enough comparable sales on feeder heifers due to last weeks light test, but a higher undertone was noted. Steer and heifer calves sold 4.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady. Not enough comparable sales on replacement cattle from last weeks light test but a much higher undertone was noted. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Quality was very attractive, with some really nice weaned calves and replacement cattle with high quality genetics on offer.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
