As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, selling all cattle classes; slaughter cows steady instances 4.00-5.00 higher, slaughter bulls on a light offering mostly steady, several bred cows ranging from young to broken mouth. Few feeder calves with not enough for a good market test. Demand moderate to good.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $533.45, low $406.00, median $455.02 across 18 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.
