As filed

Good day, as compared to the last market feeder calves were steady, had a lot of plain cattle. Slaughter cows were 2 higher and bulls 5-7 higher. Top bull brought $ 1.71 and weighed 2010 lbs. that is $3,437.10 pretty dang good.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $493.97, low $337.72, median $436.36 across 29 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
