As filed

Compared to last Tuesday feeder steers and heifers sold mostly steady. There was good demand for feeder and yearling classes. No trend for slaughter cows due not enough comparable receipts. Slaughter bulls sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower. There was moderate demand for slaughter classes.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.97, low $366.49, median $460.76 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
