As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 700 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, few over 700 lbs near steady on a light test. Feeder heifers under 575 lbs steady to 4.00 lower, over 575 lbs 2.00-4.00 higher. Slaughter cows firm to 2.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Some feeder consignments opted out following rain and storms overnight. Cattle news is mixed at the moment with futures higher Tuesday and beef cutouts finally seeing a seasonal bounce while grains are also trending higher and the feeder index has been losing ground.

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

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.
