As filed

Compared to last Wednesday the feeder market was spotty with an average quality offering of mostly yearling cattle. Light weight steers 400 lbs and under appeared lower with a lite test, while the 500-650 lbs steers were 5.00 to 8.00 higher with a good supply and good demand for weaned and harder conditioned calves. Feeder heifers 350-600 lbs were 3.00 to 5.00 lower with a good supply and moderate demand. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 2.00 lower with a moderate supply and noted an increased interest in cows returning to the farm.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $515.83, low $365.46, median $452.60 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
