Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves remained mostly steady. Unweaned counterparts bringing considerably less with temperatures turning fall like and buyers trying to avoid sickness. Yearlings not tested.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.67, low $343.16, median $438.99 across 33 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.
