As filed

Not enough feeder cattle on offer for a price comparison. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 higher. This week's offering included several consignments of breeding stock, with some cow/calf pairs in particular finding several interested bidders. Supply light, demand moderate.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $465.77, low $363.10, median $427.78 across 7 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
