As filed

Compared to last report feeder steers sold unevenly steady, with feeder heifers selling 20.00 higher on calves and yearlings. With slaughter cows selling steady and bulls selling 6.00 lower on a light test. With sheep and goats selling with too few comparable sales to test. Trade was active with a good demand with a moderate supply.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $483.07, low $384.43, median $425.67 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
