As filed

Compared to last week, steers over 750 lbs and heifers over 700 lbs sold steady, weak undertone noted. Steer and heifer calves not well tested. Slaughter cows sold steady to 4.00 higher. Several replacement quality heifers sold sharply higher. Condition and quality contributed to buyer discretion. Good demand for heavy supply.

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
