As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 700 lbs steady, over 700 lbs firm to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs steady, over 600 lbs 3.00-5.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply moderate. Fairly similar offering to last week with a few larger consignments of nice steers and heifers weighing 625-850 lbs along with lots of smaller groups of calves weighing 400-550 lbs.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $519.42, low $374.69, median $457.99 across 24 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
