As filed

Compared to the previous week, feeder cattle receipts were significantly lighter, with limited offerings of weaned calves available. In contrast to last week's large supply of weaned calves, this week's feeder market was unevenly tested. Feeder steers weighing 300-600 lbs sold $15.00-$20.00 lower, while steers over 600 lbs traded $7.00 higher. Feeder heifers weighing 300-400 lbs sold $15.00 higher, whereas 500-600 lb heifers traded $7.00 lower. Slaughter cattle sold mostly steady.

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
