As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steer calves sold 10.00 to 20.00 higher, few spots sharply higher under 500 lbs. Yearling load lots 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Heifers traded 20.00 to 25.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 5.00 higher. Different week but the same story with cash feeders continuing to add on big gains with every sale. Several high quality reputation strings were available and buyers remain aggressive, buying what they can while they can. Supply moderate, demand very good.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $509.37, low $399.14, median $475.84 across 13 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.
