As filed

Compared to last Monday the feeder market was stronger with a good quality offering. Feeder steers and heifers 600 lbs and under were 10.00 to 15.00 higher or greater in spots with a good supply and strong demand for weaned packages and groups. Yearling steers and heifers appeared sharply higher as well, but with limited comparisons from the week before. Buyers were active today and willing to pay premiums for weaned packages and groups and guaranteed open heifers. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 4.00 higher with a good supply and slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 lower with good demand.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $507.01, low $410.51, median $458.69 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
