As filed

Trends this week were sharply lower due to lower quality, falling feeder and live cattle futures prices, and it being a major Holiday week with most markets being closed this week. Feeder Steers/Bulls 30.00-40.00 lower; Feeder Heifers 30.00-40.00 lower; Slaughter Cows mostly steady; Slaughter Bulls mostly steady.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $426.15, low $321.99, median $388.17 across 32 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.
