As filed

Compared to last week, steers over 700 lbs sold steady to 10.00 lower, under 700 lbs not enough for market test, however a sharply higher undertone was noted. Heifers over 750 lbs sold steady to weak and under 750 lbs sold 2.00 to 19.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold steady to 4.00 lower. 109 steers weighing 459 lbs sold 584.00 cwt. Supply was heavy and demand was good. Majority of cattle on offer today were coming off wheat and tended towards the fleshy side.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $513.49, low $343.81, median $446.70 across 31 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
