As filed

Compared to last week: On a uneven test compared to the previous week, feeder steers and bull sold $7.00 to $15.00 higher while feeder heifers sold $10.00 to $11.00 higher. Supply was a mix of thinner fleshed weaned calves and fleshier unweaned calves. Demand was moderate to good. Slaughter cattle was to light of a test to determine a trend.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $472.12, low $330.37, median $401.38 across 29 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.

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,280	109.00	1,395	2thin

Replacement cattle Per head
