As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers steady to 10.00 lower. A surprisingly good demand for all weights as many market participants thought prices would be much lower following the lower fat cattle trade last week and the sharp selloff seen in the futures market. More yearling cattle showing up with a load of 865 lb steers selling for 347.25 and still a 400.00 top on seven weight steers.

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.
