As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were 4.00 to 9.00 lower on limited comparable sales. Demand was moderate to good. Markets following the declines in the stock markets and CME cattle boards earlier this week. Temperatures remain in the triple digits, with chance of much needed thunderstorms going into the weekend. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady.

33 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $460.86, low $298.16, median $378.00 across 33 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.

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
