As filed

Compared to last Wednesday: Feeder steers and heifers sold mostly steady. A good quality offering today that contained several weaned, pre-conditioned calves. The buyers are still preferring the calves in "green" condition over the fleshier calves. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 5.00-7.00 higher.

32 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $524.17, low $382.73, median $481.03 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
