As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last Tuesday, feeder steers under 550 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher, over 550 lbs steady. Feeder heifers steady. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Supply moderate. The offering this week included a 305 head consignment of backgrounded medium flesh program cattle along with a strong load of green yearling steers weighing 770 lbs @ 253.00/cwt. Feeder contracts were over 300 points lower Tuesday with talk of the market being overbought although beef cutout values closed higher.

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.
