As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher, with instances of 20.00 to 30.00 higher on 550 to 650 pound heifers. Trading activity was active on very good buyer demand. Quality was mixed, with a large portion of the supply consisting of replacement cattle. Slaughter cows were too lightly tested for a market trend. Pastures are still green and soil moisture levels are adequate to surplus according to the Texas Crop and Weather report. Rain fell again over the weekend but seasonal temperatures in the upper 90's have finally made there way into the trading region.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $444.74, low $341.20, median $386.46 across 31 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
