As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold 7.00-8.00 lower. Feeder heifers traded sharply lower. Continuing heat and the return of dry weather is causing calf health concerns and leading to discounts across all classes of feeders especially the lightweight, unweaned calves. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady and slaughter bulls were 3.00-4.00 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.
