*No Sale, Wednesday, November 26, 2025*

Compared to last week, steers and heifers over 700 lbs, not enough sold for market test. One lot of 55 reputation steers weighing 923 lbs sold 6.00 higher, 320.50 cwt. Steers and heifers under 700 lbs uneven, sold higher in spots. Reputation and quality brought higher prices. Breaker and Boning utility sold steady while Lean utility sold steady to weak. One bull weighing 1965 lbs sold 207.00 cwt. Good demand for moderate supply.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
