As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold uneven, but the majority of the trend was from steady to 7.00 lower. There were a few instances where the undertone was higher, mainly on the 550-625 lbs heifers and 400-450 lb steer calves. Demand was moderate for a fairly typical fall run where condition and quality ran a wide range. Cattle futures have found some support and somewhat stabilized so far this week after Monday's limit up move. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-10.00 lower.

31 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $514.71, low $446.05, median $482.34 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
