281 cattle today including about 100 fed cattle with the balance in cows & bulls.

 

Slaughter steers & heifers sold mostly steady with a top of 134.50!  Demand remains good on the choice cattle and less on the mixed grading steers & heifers.  Look for the choice/select spread to widen over the next several weeks.
