Compared to last Thursday the feeder market was lower with an average quality offering. Light weight steers 300 lbs and under appeared steady with a lite test, while the 400-600 lbs steers were 6.00 to 8.00 lower or greater in spots with a good supply and moderate demand. Yearling steers appeared 3.00 to 6.00 lower with a good supply and moderate demand. Feeder heifers 600 lbs and under were 3.00 to 5.00 lower with a good supply and good demand for weaned and guaranteed open females. Negative pressure from the futures market coupled with heavier conditioned calves and concerns of a drought locally has limited some buyers interest and the premiums they are willing to pay for feeders. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly steady to 2.00 lower with a good supply and good demand.

32 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $446.90, low $346.97, median $411.22 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
