As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold 3.00-5.00 lower. Feeder heifers traded sharply higher. The demand for feeder steers today wasn't as strong but the buyers showed very good interest in a good quality heifer offering. Slaughter cows sold 6.00-8.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 1.00-3.00 higher.

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $227.14, low $172.58, median $210.13 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
