As filed

Compared to last report, feeder steers sold 1.00 to 9.00 lower, with no trend available on feeder heifers. No trend available on slaughter cows due to not enough comparable sales, while slaughter bull sold steady. With to few comparable sales on sheep and goats to trend. 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.
