As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers traded 4.00-6.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs. sold 8.00-10.00 higher and those over 500 lbs. were sharply lower. The recent volatility in futures trading continues to effect the demand on all classes of feeders. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.

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
