As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers and heifers sold 6.00-8.00 lower. Today's smaller offering limited group size along with very few weaned calves softened demand on all classes of feeder cattle. Slaughter cows traded 3.00-5.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 6.00-7.00 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
