Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 2.00 to 4.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 6.00 higher. Feeder steers and bulls were mostly 4.00 to 6.00 higher, while heifers were mostly steady to 4.00 lower. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were light due to inclement weather over the weekend. Cattle quality was mostly average.

32 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $216.84, low $179.14, median $202.53 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
