As filed

Feeder cattle supply was moderate, with a mixed offering. Strong demand was noted for lightweight calves, while demand for feeder cattle over 500 lbs varied depending on quality and condition. Slaughter cattle supply was light. No price trends were established, as the sale was not reported the previous week.

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $491.70, low $356.79, median $419.66 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.

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
