As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold with too few comparable sales to trend except steers weighing 400lbs sold 20.00 higher and heifers weighing 400lbs sold 6.00 higher. Boning cows selling steady to 2.00 higher, while breakers and lean cows sold too light to trend. Slaughter bulls selling on a light test. Trade was active with a good demand and a light supply.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $433.70, low $334.13, median $380.56 across 15 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.
