As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers steady to 3.00 lower with some 550-600 lbs 4.00-8.00 lower.. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs fully 5.00-10.00 higher, over 550 lbs near steady. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 lower. Demand uneven. Supply light. Several takers and lots of demand for the light heifers this week. The cattle market in the ring was better than on the computer screen for the most part with the solid start to the week seen in cattle wiped out on Wednesday as the latest inflation data sent the stock market lower and trimmed 250-300 points off of feeder futures. Beef cutout values were also lower making a steady fed cattle trade this week seem very unlikely.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $516.16, low $414.87, median $480.03 across 20 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
