As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold too light to trend. With slaughter cattle selling too light to trend, while slaughter bulls sold 12.00 lower. While sheep and goats sold with not enough comparables to trend except on slaughter ewes which sold sharply higher. Trade was active with a good demand and a light to moderate supply.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
