As filed

Compared to last week, with the hot weather and the upcoming Holiday weekend, feeders were in light supply. Demand was stronger for lightweight calves carrying extra condition. Market trends were not well established because of the limited receipts. Slaughter cattle were also in light supply, with insufficient numbers to establish a market trend.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $426.53, low $325.96, median $389.63 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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