As filed

Compared to last week, there were too few calves and yearlings for a trend. The majority of the offering came from the special replacement cow sale with several groups of quality bred cows and cow-calf pairs on hand. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $492.10, low $375.17, median $453.16 across 23 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
