Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales for a market trend with these lighter summer runs. Demand was good especially for the attractive replacement cows on hand.

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

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
