As filed

Compared to last week, there were not enough comparable sales on the feeders to establish a trend, but a higher undertone was evident. The kind and quality was much different this week as most of the offering consisted of colored-up cattle. Supply was moderate and demand was good, as buyer attendance was better this week. Slaughter cattle sold 2.00-5.00 lower.

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.
