As filed

Compared to yesterday: Feeder steers and heifers unevenly steady. Good demand for this nice offering of feeder cattle. Overall quality was a little uneven, however there were some strings of very attractive, front-end kind of steers and heifers. Not as many buyers on the seats as yesterday, but the market was still very active again as the CME cattle complex saw big gains, Live Cattle up 2.02-2.87, Feeder Cattle contracts up 4.55-6.30. A good offering of yearlings, offered in full loads and multiple load lots, overall the yearlings were pretty fleshy but still found ample bidders.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $518.21, low $447.31, median $486.46 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
