*No Sale ( Sept 9 ) due to Labor Day

Too few of feeders for a trend comparison, undertones lower. Slaughter cows sold 6.00 lower and bulls sold steady to 3.00 lower; Demand not establish and supply light.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $512.44, low $386.16, median $455.18 across 26 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.

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
