As filed

Compared to last Monday the feeder market was spotty and mixed with a plainer than average quality offering. Feeder steers 350 lbs and under were steady to 5.00 higher, while the 400-600 lbs steers were steady to 5.00 lower or greater in spots with a good supply and mixed demand. Yearling steers were 3.00 to 5.00 lower with a moderate supply and moderate demand. Feeder heifers 600 lbs and under were mostly steady to 5.00 lower or greater in a few spots with a good supply and spotty demand. Buyers were active today and willing to pay premiums for quality cattle, however a softer and spotty undertone was noted. Slaughter cows were 1.00 to 3.00 lower with a good supply and slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 higher with good demand.

29 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $507.01, low $374.67, median $457.82 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
