As filed

Compared to the last trended sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 5.00-15.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 higher compared to last week. Demand very good. Supply light. Feeders are generally stronger so far this week following last weeks record fed cattle trade with beef cutout values also seeing some seasonal improvement.

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.
