Good day, as compared to the last market feeder calves were 5-7 higher. Slaughter cattle steady to maybe a little cheaper. Sold some really FANCY brangus heifers light bred to hereford bulls brought $3000-3450. Nice gentle set of heifers.

29 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $422.02, low $351.03, median $394.33 across 29 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.
