Reminder: Pre-Vac Sale Scheduled for Monday, 10/6/25 at 1:00 PM

Feeder cattle traded with strong demand this week, particularly for weaned calves. Buyer interest was lighter on unweaned offerings. Supply of light-weight calves was good, with solid demand noted. No market trend comparisons available due to no sale report from the prior week.

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.
