As filed

No trends could be established due to no sale last week in observance of Independence Day, however all Feeder Stteers and Feeder Bulls under 450# traded with a higher undertone with Feeder Heifers trading slightly lower due to quality and demand. Fleshier and unweaned calves receiving a considerable discount. Slaughter Cows/Bulls traded with slightly lower undertone due to lower quality compared to two weeks ago.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $420.69, low $301.40, median $384.12 across 30 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.
