As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers sold 1.00 to 6.00 lower. While feeder heifers selling sharply lower, slaughter cows sold steady to 5.00 higher on breaker and boning cattle. Lean cows going back on feed sold steady. While slaughter bulls sold too light to trend. Trade was active with a good demand and a heavy supply.

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $508.64, low $402.16, median $450.71 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
