As filed

Compared to last week's higher market, steers and heifers sold uneven as steer and heifer calves from 400-500 lbs sold 5.00-15.00 lower, spots 20.00 lower and heavier weights mostly 3.00-8.00 lower but there were some spots where mid weights from 500-625 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was good for a moderate supply of mostly new crop calves but a couple load lots and a few consignments of home-raised yearlings were offered as well. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 higher.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $447.60, low $357.18, median $413.34 across 25 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
