As filed

As compared to last weeks market: Due to the inclement weather there were too few cattle present to establish a market trend. The few slaughter cattle that sold were higher.

Heifers 600–700 lb: high $373.13, low $304.63, median $343.37 across 17 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.
