As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly 12.00 to 22.00 higher, and heifers were 6.00 to 18.00 higher based on a limited offering today. Slaughter cows were mostly 1.00 to 4.00 higher and slaughter bulls were steady to 3.00 lower. Demand was very good on a light supply.

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
