As filed

Compared to last Monday the feeder market was mostly stronger with a good quality offering. Light weight feeder steers 400 lbs and under were sharply higher and in strong demand, while the 500-700 lbs steers were mostly steady with a good supply. Yearling steers appeared stronger but with limited comparisons. Feeder heifers 600 lbs and under were 4.00 to 8.00 higher or greater in spots with a good supply, while the 600-800 lbs heifers were steady with good demand for weaned and guaranteed open heifers. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher with a large supply and slaughter bulls were steady with good demand.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $445.63, low $349.69, median $404.73 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
