As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. The demand remained good today despite the buyers concerns for calf health due to dry weather and temperature swings. The price difference between weaned and unweaned calves is more evident now due to these concerns. Slaughter cows traded steady and slaughter bulls were 2.00-4.00 lower.

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $485.45, low $379.86, median $448.93 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
