As filed

Compared to last week, a select comparison of 450lb to 650lb steer calves sold steady to 10.00 higher. Heifers were mostly steady to 5.00 lower. All weight comparisons were limited due to fewer receipts this week. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was moderate to light on a light supply.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.78, low $364.36, median $448.86 across 34 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.

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
