As filed

Compared to last sale selling mostly yearlings in small packages with demand good, higher overtones noted. Slaughter bulls instances 6.00-7.00 lower, several going back to feed. Few feeder calves lightly tested for a good market test with couple packages of bred cows. Demand moderate to good. Sales every Tuesday going into fall.

Heifers 600–700 lb: high $412.06, low $318.96, median $374.00 across 13 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.
