As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers were mostly 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Feeder heifers sold 6.00 to 15.00 lower. With hot temperatures and summertime approaching several offerings of un-weaned, heavier fleshed and or long haired calves were discounted by the buyers. These factors in the run pushed calves lower across the board. Slaughter cows sold steady to 5.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 5.00 higher. Supply was strong and demnad was good with most interest on weaned and light fleshed cattle.

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.

Slaughter cattle
