As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, feeder steers with comparable weights sold 15.00-30.00 higher and feeder heifers under 700 pounds sold 10.00-20.00 higher with few comparisons on heifers over 700 pounds. The quality was very deep all the way through and demand was very good. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 5.00-8.00 higher.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $461.89, low $384.72, median $433.18 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
