As filed

Compared to last Thursday the feeder market was uneven with a plainer quality offering. Feeder steers and heifers were unevenly steady to 3.00 lower or greater in spots with a limited supply and moderate demand. Lower receipts, excessive heat and varying quality issues, limited buyers interest and premiums they were willing to pay today. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 4.00 higher with good demand and slaughter bulls were steady.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $446.90, low $316.07, median $403.56 across 34 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
