As filed

Compared to last Wednesday: Feeder steers under 500 lbs. sold sharply lower and those over 500 lbs. were 4.00-6.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs traded sharply lower and those over 500 lbs. were steady. When comparing this week's lightweight calves to last week's exceptional sale on those calves, prices and demand were near those seen two weeks ago. Today's offering contained several good quality yearling cattle that continued to see strong demand. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 2.00 higher.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $469.65, low $340.68, median $415.33 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
