As filed

Compared to last Wednesday: Feeder steers sold 4.00-6.00 higher with the 400-500 lb. steers being sharply higher. Feeder heifers traded 2.00-4.00 higher. All classes of feeders saw instances of significant price increases. Feeder buyers were paying premiums for the higher quality calves that were in favorable condition. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher and slaughter bulls were steady on a light test due to low receipts last week.

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.
