As filed

Compared to last test, stocker and feeder cattle weak in a light test. Feeder cattle futures are extending gains with contracts $3 to $4.52 higher at midday. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was up $5.42 to $337.78 on December 2. Slaughter cows 2.00-5.00 higher mostly due to high feeding cow demand. Slaughter bulls firm. Trade active with good demand.

Steers 600–700 lb: high $452.76, low $315.91, median $397.19 across 19 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
