As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, feeder steers weighing 550-750 lbs and heifers weighing 500-700 lbs sold with a steady to higher undertone on few comparable sales. Slaughter cows traded fully steady to firm on a good offering. Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate. Cattle futures ended the week lower after a sluggish week of trading with many of the commodity markets focusing on Monday's crop report.

22 sales

Steers 0–100 lb: high $259.77, low $224.09, median $243.68 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
