* Final Report *

Compared to last week, feeder steers 700 lb to 1,000 lb sold unevenly steady. Steers 600 lb to 700 lb sold 6.00 to 8.00 higher. Feeder heifers 800 lb to 950 lb sold steady on light receipts. Heifers 650 lb to 800 lb sold 10.00 to 12.00 higher. Not enough steers and heifers under 600 lb for a market test, however a steady to higher trend was noted. Demand was good. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 3.00 to 5.00 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.
