As filed

Compared to two weeks ago; slaughter cows on a light offering steady instances 4.00 lower, slaughter bulls not as attractive as last sale with instances 10.00-14.00 lower with feeder cows on alight offering mostly steady instances 3.00-5.00 lower. Few packages of guaranteed open heifers with instances 18.00 higher on light comparisons available. Demand good with good buyer attendance and participation. Next sale will be in two weeks: AUGUST 6 TH ALONG WITH 4-H RESALES.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $473.36, low $160.00, median $409.98 across 16 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

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
