As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold steady to instances 4.00 higher. Trade activity was moderate on moderate to good demand. Winter wheat pastures are turning green after recent rain, which is a relief after the summer drought. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
