As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold sharply lower. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs. traded 6.00-8.00 higher and those over 500 lbs. were sharply lower. With feeder and fat cattle futures taking a severe drop over the last two weeks buyers continue to reduce demand and prices for feeder calves. Slaughter cows sold 5.00-7.00 lower and slaughter bulls were mostly steady.

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.
