As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold 2.00 to 8.00 higher on limited comparable sales. Trade activity was light to moderate on good demand. Heavy fog settled into the area the last couple of days, bringing along a small amount of much needed rain. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 3.00 higher.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
