As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 700 lbs 5.00-15.00 higher, over 700 lbs steady. Feeder heifers under 400 lbs unevenly steady, 400-600 lbs 5.00-15.00 higher and over 600 lbs steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter cows 3.00-7.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. Several medium sized consignments of good quality calves this week. Buyers pushed much of the feeder trade up another notch with recent rainfall improving the pasture outlook and beef cutout values/fed cattle prices also seeing advances.

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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Low	1,681	140.58	2,363	4thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,555	126.56	1,968	5thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	988	97.76	966	15

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.
