As filed

Compared to last week: All classes lightly tested. Feeder steers sold 4.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 6.00 higher. Demand good for feeders. Steer calves not well tested but a higher undertone noted. Heifer calves mostly steady. Demand moderate to good for calves. Though numbers were limited, supply still included some nice strings of feeder cattle.

32 sales

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.
