Compared to the sale last Tuesday, feeder steers under 650 lbs 10.00-25.00 higher, over 650 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 450 lbs 20.00-50.00 higher, 450-600 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher and over 600 lbs steady. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. Feeder cattle are stronger again so far this week aided by the much higher fed cattle trade seen last week.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $519.42, low $374.69, median $458.20 across 23 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Low	1,687	190.99	3,221	10
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,562	159.06	2,485	12

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,088	136.44	1,484	45

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.
