As filed

Compared to last Thursday, stocker and feeder cattle steady in a light test. Feeder cattle futures are down $1 to $2.05 so far on the day. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was down another 66 cents to $368.93 on March 3. 2025. World Champion Guest Auctioneer Tyler Bell was on hand for last Tuesday's nite sale and today's sale also. Slaughter cows 1.00-25.00 higher. Most advance on beef type cows to return to feed. Slaughter bulls weak.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $493.55, low $302.65, median $387.36 across 21 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.
