As filed

Compared to last week's very light run, steers sold mostly 8.00 to 20.00 higher. Most weights of heifers had very few to compare to, but the best test of 600lb heifers sold 12.00 higher. Demand was very good on a heavy supply of feeder cattle, with many high quality groups of long weaned and vaccinated yearlings in town. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00 to 6.00 higher and sold with moderate demand.

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

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
