As filed

Compared to last Tuesday the feeder market was stronger with a good quality offering. Feeder steers and heifers 600 lbs and under were sharply higher with a good supply and strong demand for weaned and pre-conditioned packages and groups. Yearling steers appeared stronger as well with a good supply but limited comparisons. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 2.00 higher with a limited supply and good demand.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $500.70, low $353.17, median $447.02 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
