As filed

Compared to the last tested market from two weeks ago, feeder steers under 750 lbs steady with weights over 750 lbs 5.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs steady to 5.00 higher and over 600 lbs steady to 5.00 lower. A really active market, especially considering lower futures prices and winter weather on the way back. Demand very good and supply moderate.

16 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $515.25, low $432.68, median $469.95 across 16 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
