*King of the Ring, Saturday, July 26, 2025, 8500 feeders*

Compared to last week, feeder steers and calves not well tested, higher undertone noted. Heifers over 550 lbs sold steady to 10.00 higher, under 550 lbs not well tested. Reputation heifers sold 30.00 to 50.00 higher. 133 heifers weighing 695 lbs sold for 370.50 cwt. Breaker and Lean utility cows sold 4.00 higher while Boning cattle sold 5.00 lower. Good demand for light to moderate supply.

32 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $458.54, low $344.43, median $406.52 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
