As filed

Compared to last Monday both the feeder and slaughter markets were stronger with a good quality offering. Feeder steers 300 lbs and under appeared steady with a light test, while the 400-600 lbs steers were sharply higher across all weight comparisons with a good supply and strong demand. Yearling steers appeared stronger as well but with limited head to head comparisons. Feeder heifers 600 lbs and under were 6.00 to 10.00 higher or greater in spots with a good supply and strong demand. Slaughter cows were 6.00 to 8.00 higher for the heavier conditioned cows while the leans were 1.00 to 3.00 higher with a good supply and slaughter bulls were steady to 3.00 higher with strong demand.

28 sales

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.
