As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers steady to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows 4.00-5.00 higher. Demand moderate to good. Supply moderate. The feeder market is a little lower overall following the sell-off seen in feeder futures last week while fed cattle are providing lots of support with prices $1 higher last week and cutout values showing seasonal strength in recent days.

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.

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.
