As filed

Compared to last Wednesday the feeder market was stronger with an average quality offering. Feeder steers were 6.00 to 8.00 higher or greater in spots with a good supply and good demand. Feeder heifers 450 lbs and under were sharply higher with a good supply, while the 500-700 lbs heifers were 3.00 to 5.00 higher with good demand. Buyers were active today and willing to pay premiums for quality cattle, while discounting plainer, off colored calves severely. Slaughter cows and bulls were 2.00 to 4.00 higher with a good supply and good demand.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $431.17, low $343.72, median $401.72 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
