Compared to last week feeder steers under 500 pounds were 20.00 to 30.00 lower. Feeder steers over 500 pounds were 10.00 to 20.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 400 pounds were 10.00 to 20.00 lower. Feeder heifers over 400 pounds were steady this week. Slaughter cows were steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter Bulls were 5.00 to 7.00 higher this week. Some really nice stout groups of feeder cattle were offered this week and many heifers of replacement quality.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $468.96, low $327.18, median $405.60 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

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