As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers under 600 lbs 10.00-20.00 higher, few over 600 lbs steady to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows 4.00-6.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. Tariff concerns are in the rear view this week with cash and futures prices higher and with hopes for a higher feedlot trade as well.

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.
