As filed

Based on limited comparisons with the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers under 600 lbs 10.00-20.00 higher, over 600 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers 5.00-15.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 lower. Demand very good. Supply moderate. The feeder market is stronger this week, especially on the lighter grazing cattle where sharply higher prices suggest demand is running quite a bit ahead of the supply. The lastest feeder index sits at 259.38, closing in on the record top of 261.88/cwt.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $519.42, low $374.69, median $458.20 across 23 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

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.
