* Final Report *

Compared to last week, feeder steers 650 lb to 975 lb sold unevenly steady, however front end kind of steers sold 4.00 to 8.00 higher. Feeder heifers 750 lb to 975 lb sold 3.00 to 8.00 higher, with most advance on heifers over 800 lb. Not enough steer and heifer calves for a market test. Demand was good. Slaughter cows sold 6.00 to 8.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $502.87, low $396.12, median $463.16 across 26 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.

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
