Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were mostly steady. Demand was moderate. The area received several more inches of rain causing muddy conditions to get cattle to market. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 3.00 lower.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $516.73, low $362.24, median $430.00 across 29 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.
