Compared to last week, the feeder offering was too small for a trend comparison. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady; Demand light and supply light.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $453.97, low $335.72, median $398.44 across 28 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.
