As filed

Compared to last week, the steers under 700 lbs. sold mostly 5.00 to 15.00 lower. The heifers weighing 350-450 lbs. sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher and the heifers weighing 450 to 600 lbs. sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower. The steers over 700 lbs. and the heifers over 600 lbs. had little to no comparisons. The CME Feeder Cattle Futures traded sharply lower on Thursday. Demand was moderate on a moderate to heavy supply. Slaughter cows sold with very good demand, mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher. The slaughter bulls sold with sharply higher undertones, and the top slaughter bull sold for 267.00/cwt.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $497.58, low $389.21, median $441.73 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
