As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady. Not enough comparable sales on calves for a market trend. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 3.00 to 4.00 lower on a light test. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Quality was very attractive with several nice loads of yearlings and several nice bunches of weaned calves on offer. Temperatures cooled off early this week bringing snow ranging from traces to up to 5 inches across the Panhandle.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Replacement cattle Per head
