As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold steady. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs. traded sharply lower and those over 500 lbs. were 6.00-8.00 lower. The feeder buyers showed better demand for steers but were very sluggish on the heifers. The quality of today's offering varied greatly with several off-colored calves. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 6.00-8.00 lower.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $420.49, low $314.93, median $390.68 across 33 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
