As filed

Based on limited comparisons with the last reported sale three weeks ago, feeder steers under 700 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher. Weights over 700 lbs sold with a higher undertone. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 15.00-20.00 higher with weights over 600 lbs selling with a higher undertone. Slaughter cows 3,00-6.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply moderate. Excellent feeder offering with good cattle from start to finish. Two loads of backgrounded yearling steers were among the top price quotes with 65 head 707 lbs @ 356.75 and 68 head 830 lbs @ 325.00. Cattle futures have gained a lot of ground so far this week helping push auction prices higher although beef cutout values did take a big hit Wednesday.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
