As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 650 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher, over 650 lbs steady on a light test. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 5.00-15.00 higher, over 600 lbs 2.00-5.00 higher. Slaughter cows 5.00-7.00 lower. Demand very good. Supply moderate. Strong feeder offering this week with several consignments of high quality calves weighing 400-600 lbs with some weaned but many not weaned. The feeder market is off to a hot start this week following a slightly bullish Cattle on Feed report and a sharply higher futures trade on Monday.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $453.15, low $349.60, median $408.91 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.
