As filed

Compared to last report feeder steers sold sharply higher, with feeder heifers selling unevenly steady. While slaughter cows and bulls sold too light to test. With sheep and goats selling with too few comparable sales to test. Trade was active with a good demand with a moderate supply.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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