As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, steers and heifers steady on a limited test. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Light run with mostly smaller packages of calves, some weaned 30-45 days and several still bulls. You never know what's around the corner but market action in the cattle is pretty good at the moment with fed cattle showing some strength last week, feeder futures trending higher and beef cutouts higher Tuesday despite last weeks increased slaughter pace. Cow sale following the feeders featured 14 nice 2nd period A. I. bred heifers.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $519.42, low $374.69, median $457.99 across 24 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.
