As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 lower. Feeder heifers 3.00 to 7.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves unevenly steady with lots of unweaned calves in the offering today. Demand was moderate, but with the warm dry weather more emphasis was being put on condition. Quality was average.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $443.73, low $344.75, median $393.73 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
