As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold steady to 2.00 higher on a light test. Feeder heifers traded 6.00-8.00 higher. With severe storms and flooding rains in the area today's offering was smaller than previous weeks but the demand remained strong especially for heifers and bull calves. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady and slaughter bulls were 2.00-3.00 lower on plainer quality offering.

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.
