As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers were 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold un-even to steady. Slaughter cows were mostly steady and slaughter bulls were 8.00 to 10.00 higher. Supply was heavy with good buyer attendence and good demand. Several offerings of weaned cattle with good condition on them helped hold the market.

8 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $417.84, low $376.36, median $401.56 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
