* No Sale, Wednesday, November 26, 2025 *

Compared to last week, steers and heifers over 650 lbs, not enough for market test. Steers and heifers under 650 lbs sold 5.00 higher and sharply lower in spots. Slaughter cows sold steady. Quality, weaned and multiple vaccinations brought steady to higher prices. Moderate demand for moderate 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.
