As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 500 lbs sold 14.00-25.00 lower, over 500 lbs sold 2.00-12.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs sold 14.00-18.00 lower, over 500 lbs sold 1.00 lower. Feeder supply was mostly very plain or unweaned calves; those with too much hair are being heavily discounted as the Summer heat begins. Slaughter cows sold 1.00 higher, Slaughter bulls not well tested.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $426.06, low $323.84, median $386.62 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Arkansas weighted averages
One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Arkansas auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
