As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 10.00 higher with most of the gain on the calves under 600 lbs. A few larger drafts of 450 lb heifers sold up to 20.00 higher. Demand was good for the last sale of the year with some nice groups of bred heifers and cows offered after the calves. Supply was moderate. There hasn't been much new information to move the market either way so far this week and things are starting to wind down for the year.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $524.49, low $388.35, median $466.90 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
