As filed

Compared to the last trended sale two weeks ago, feeder steers under 650 lbs 6.00-12.00 higher, over 650 lbs 3.00-5.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 575 lbs fully 15.00-20.00 higher, over 575 lbs 6.00-12.00 higher. Slaughter cows 4.00-6.00 lower. Demand very good. Supply moderate. Top quality feeder offering of mostly weaned calves and yearlings this week as several top producers brought cattle to town. Also included in the bulk steer prices are two drafts (22 hd 557 lbs @315.00 and 28 hd 619 lbs @ 292.00) of non-weaned, double vaccinated, high quality reputation calves.

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

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
