* Final Report *

Compared to last week, no recent comparison on steers and heifers 700 lb to 975 lb, however a definite higher trend was noted. Not enough steers and heifers under 700 lb for a market test. No recent comparison on slaughter cows and bulls, however a higher trend was noted. Demand was good.

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.
