As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers were steady this week. Feeder heifers were mixed to 8.00 higher. Slaughter cows were 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were 3.00 to 7.00 higher. A couple herd sell outs come through this week with some excellent bigger framed cows that weighed up and offered excellent replacements this week for bred cows and cow/calf pairs.

26 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $468.96, low $359.33, median $415.17 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
