As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs sold 3.00 to 5.00 lower, steers over 600 lbs sold 7.00 to 10.00 higher on a light test. Feeder heifers were mostly steady with lower undertones noted. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 6.00 higher and slaughter bulls were not well tested. Summer heat is here and buyers were discounting long haired and un-weaned new crop calves but had good demand for the lighter fleshed and weaned cattle. Supply was good with good buyer attendence.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $471.38, low $425.80, median $443.41 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
