As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 450 lbs steady, over 450 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher with instances 15.00 higher near 550 lbs. Feeder heifers 2.00-8.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply heavy. The cattle market is still getting stronger on all fronts with fed cattle expected to trade higher again this week. Numerous consignments of front end fall calves this week, some weaned and some not as the unprecedented prices continue to pull marketings forward in some cases.

24 sales

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.
