As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold 6.00-8.00 higher on a limited test due to fewer steers in last week's offering. Feeder heifers traded 7.00-9.00 lower. Prices were inconsistent across all classes of feeders calves. The good quality male calves saw the strongest demand and the interest in the heifers wasn't as good as in previous weeks. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-3.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 6.00-7.00 higher.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $420.49, low $314.93, median $390.68 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
