Compared to last week, steers under 550lbs sold with a steady undertone, and steers over 550lbs sold 5.00 to 12.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls were unevenly steady from 2.00 higher to 5.00 lower. Demand was good on a moderate supply of feeder and slaughter cattle.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.78, low $364.36, median $447.56 across 33 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
