As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs sold 3.00 to10.00 higher steers over 600 lbs were not well tested. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs were 3.00 to 10.00 higher with some instances of weaned and lighter fleshed heifers as much as 20.00 higher. Heifers over 500 lbs were mostly 10.00 lower. Lighter fleshed cattle and more buyer support on the lighter weights this week helped move the lighter end of the feeders higher. Slaughter cows sold 4.00 to 9.00 higher and slaughter bulls trended steady on a short supply. Supply was good and demand was good on the weaned and lighter 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
