As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers steady on a limited market test. Slaughter cows steady. Demand very good. Supply light. Tight feeder supplies are helping to keep the feeder trade strong despite seasonal weakness in beef demand which has caused fed cattle and live cattle futures to trend lower in recent weeks. Rain moved into the area early Tuesday with weather conditions looking more favorable for cattle movement next week.

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.
