As filed

Compared to last Saturday the feeder market was stronger with a good quality offering. Feeder steers 600 lbs and under were sharply higher across all weight classes with a good supply and strong demand for weaned and thinner conditioned calves. Yearling steers appeared firm with a good supply but limited comparisons. Feeder heifers 300 lbs and under were sharply higher with strong demand, while the 400-600 lbs heifers were 3.00 to 8.00 higher or greater in spots with a good supply and strong demand. Buyers were active today and willing to increase the premiums paid for quality cattle and harder conditioned feeders, while discounting the fatter new crop calves and increasing the price spreads in most weight classes. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher with a good supply and slaughter bulls were 4.00 to 6.00 higher with good demand.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $511.01, low $375.39, median $462.82 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
