As filed

Good day, the weather may have been warm out today but the feeder calves were HOT. 10-15 higher and higher than that in spots. Slaughter cattle steady. Reminder that there are no sales next week due to the Thanksgiving Holiday, may you have a wonderful time with your friends and family.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $422.02, low $332.26, median $380.81 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.
