As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold 9.00-10.00 lower and feeder heifers were 7.00-9.00 lower. The downward trending futures market and the typical winter weather with heavy rains and big temperature swings is lowering demand and prices on all feeder calves. Slaughter cows traded mostly steady and slaughter bulls were 5.00-6.00 lower.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $426.46, low $339.50, median $394.72 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
