Compared to last week, feeder heifers measuring 4.00 to 5.00 higher overall, with feeder bulls weighing up to 500 lbs. 5.00 higher and those weighing over 500 lbs. 3.00 lower. No comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts, but a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows gauging 3.00 to 10.00 lower overall, with slaughter bulls 2.00 higher.

34 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $422.87, low $321.98, median $393.73 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.
