As filed

Compared to last Monday the feeder market was mostly stronger, but spotty at times with an average quality offering. Feeder steers 450 lbs and under were sharply higher, while the 500-550 lbs steers were mostly steady with a good supply and good demand. Yearling steers appeared 6.00 to 8.00 higher with a good supply and strong demand. Feeder heifers 600 lbs and under were steady to 8.00 higher or greater in spots with a good supply and good demand. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher with a good supply and slaughter bulls were 3.00 to 5.00 higher with good demand.

33 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $445.63, low $321.52, median $398.34 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
