As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold too light to trend. With slaughter cattle selling 3.00 to 4.00 higher, and slaughter bulls selling too light to trend. While sheep and goats sold with not enough comparables to trend. Trade was active with a good demand and a light to moderate supply.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $483.07, low $384.43, median $425.67 across 22 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.
