As filed

Compared to last week, with much colder temperatures this week and some winter weather to the northwest of us, supply was held back this week. On a light test feeder steers and heifers sold $2.00-$3.00 higher, while supply on feeder bulls was to light to determine a trend. Slaughter cattle sold $3.00-$4.00 higher.

28 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $407.35, low $339.22, median $377.72 across 28 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.
