As filed

Compared to last week, offerings were mixed, with both weaned and unweaned calves. Overall quality was good. Feeder steers weighing 300-500 lbs sold $9.00 lower, 600 lb steers sold $15.00 lower, and 700 lb steers sold steady. Feeder heifers under 400 lbs sold steady to $7.00 lower, while 400-600 lb heifers sold $12.00 higher, supported by stronger demand. Slaughter cattle sold steady on good demand.

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
