As filed

Compared to last week Slaughter Cows steady to 2.00 higher. All other classes not well established due to insufficient receipts last week. Quality fair to good with several thin fleshed and value-added cattle. Demand moderate.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $456.21, low $309.60, median $362.19 across 34 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.
