As filed

Compared to the last special three weeks ago, feeder steers weighing 450-750 lbs sold steady to firm, with 750-850 lbs selling with a higher undertone on few comparable sales. Feeder heifers weighing 450-750 lbs sold steady with the exception of 550-650 lb heifers selling steady to 5.00 lower with overall quality and condition not as attractive as last special. Demand was moderate to good with supply heavy. A nice offering of good quality feeders especially steers weighing 450-850 lbs all sold on and active market. Slaughter cows traded steady to firm with last week's market.

16 sales

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $262.69, low $223.56, median $242.55 across 16 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
