As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold steady and feeder heifers were 3.00-5.00 higher. Today's quality was very similar to last week's and the demand for feeders remained good despite recent warm temperatures. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 3.00-5.00 lower on a plain quality offering.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $485.45, low $352.00, median $437.64 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

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
