As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 8.00 to 15.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 5.00 lower. Really good demand for all weights and classes on offer today, from the yearlings to the heifer pairs, with more unweaned calves showing up this week. Supply moderate, demand good to 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
