As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers traded sharply higher. Feeder heifers sold 7.00-8.00 higher. All classes of feeder cattle saw strong demand today especially the male calves. Continued positive futures trading and cooler temperatures in the forecast helped fuel today's sale. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-3.00 higher and slaughter bulls were mostly steady.

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.
