As filed

Compared to last Thursday the feeder market was lower with an average quality offering. Light weight feeder steers 400 lbs and under were sharply lower, while the 400-600 lbs steers were steady to 6.00 lower with a good supply and moderate demand. Yearling steers were 4.00 to 6.00 lower with a good supply and moderate demand. Feeder heifers were mostly 2.00 to 8.00 lower, except for the 400-500 lbs heifers who were 2.00 to 6.00 higher, with a good supply and spotty demand. Feeder buyers are active, however downward movement in the futures market last few days is limiting the premiums some buyers are willing pay. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 lower with a good supply and slaughter bulls were 2.00 lower with good demand.

31 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $502.25, low $405.13, median $465.79 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
