Compared to the last special two weeks ago, 400-500 lb steer calves sold steady on a light test, with 500-600 lbs trading steady to 4.00 lower and 600-650 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, over 650 lbs were lightly tested on limited comparisons. Feeder heifers weighing 400-650 lbs sold steady to firm, with 650-700 lbs selling steady to 3.00 higher and over 700 lbs not well tested. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm. Demand was good on a moderate supply with a nice quality offering of heifers weighing 400-700 lbs with several large consignments and good weighing conditions and a nice offering of 600-650 lb steers.

15 sales

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $262.69, low $223.56, median $246.96 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Fed Cattle — the cash market and what quality pays

Beef & Retail — from the box to the grocery shelf
