As filed

Based on limited comparisons with the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers 10.00-15.00 higher. Feeder heifers 15.00-30.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply moderate. The most positive setup in cattle history is still raging as tight supplies and strong packer competition along with excellent demand continue to push beef prices higher with cheap feed adding another bullish factor to the feeder trade. There were more never before seen prices this week including 30 head of 720 lb steers @398.00.

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.
