As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly 6.00 to 12.00 lower, and heifers sold unevenly from 2.00 lower to 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was moderate to light mainly due to some serious winter weather headed into the area this weekend that made bidders show some caution throughout the day. Supply was moderate to light.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $442.30, low $334.00, median $393.23 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.
