As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, the best test on feeder steers weighed 600-700 lbs on sold 3.00-6.00 higher with 700-800 lbs trading steady to firm, feeder heifers weighing 600-700 lbs sold 5.00-7.00 higher with all other weights selling with a firm to higher undertone on a light test. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower on a light offering. Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate. CME cattle futures had a good week posting triple-digit gains for the week and giving some optimism for the market that was in desperate need for relief and giving support to the feeder cattle market.

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.
