As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold mostly 10.00 to 15.00 lower, feeder heifers sold mostly uneven. Several offerings of new crop un-weaned feeders had buyers hesitant strike and sold as much as 25.00 lower. There were a few offerings of weaned and value added feeders that held steady to last weeks run. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady and slaughter bulls sold 20.00 higher compared to last weeks light test. Supply good and demand was moderate to good.

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.
