As filed

Compared to last Thursday the feeder market was stronger with a good quality offering. Good quality feeder steers 650 lbs and under were mostly 3.00 to 8.00 higher with good supply, however the 400-450 lbs steers were sharply higher with strong demand. Yearling steers appeared steady but with limited head to head comparisons. Feeder heifers were mostly 1.00 to 3.00 higher, except for the 450-500 lbs heifers that were sharply higher with strong demand. Slaughter cows were mostly steady to 2.00 higher for the leans with a good supply and slaughter bulls were steady with good demand.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $446.90, low $346.97, median $412.36 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
