As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle supply was sharply lower. Feeder steers and heifers sold 15.00-20.00 lower, with the majority of offerings consisting of unweaned, plainer-quality calves. Buyer demand was moderate and more selective. Several groups of 700-800 lb heifers were noted as fancy and sold on a strong demand at a premium. Slaughter cattle sold steady to 2.00 lower.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $426.53, low $325.96, median $389.63 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
