As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold uneven from 5.00 lower to 10.00 higher, with a few exceptions in the 600 weight steers selling as much as 10.00 to 20.00 higher. The total receipts were light to moderate with good demand. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $443.02, low $355.00, median $409.35 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

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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