Compared to last week, not enough steers and heifers for accurate market test, strong undertone noted. Slaughter cows sold 5.00 higher. One bull weighing 1800 lbs sold for 210.00 cwt. Demand was good for light supply.

Steers 600–700 lb: high $447.84, low $358.25, median $413.37 across 32 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.
