Lean utility cows sold 6.00 to 9.00 higher while Breaker and Boning sold steady to 4.00 higher. One bull weighing 1945 lbs sold 205.50 cwt. Good demand for light supply.

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

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
