Compared to last week: Weaned and vaccinated steers and heifers sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Fleshy calves sold with a lower undertone. Trade activity was light on moderate demand. First chance of freezing temperatures in the forecast for the weekend. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
