As filed

Compared to last Thursday the feeder market was mixed on a plainer than average quality offering. Feeder steers 400-700 lbs were mostly 2.00 to 6.00 lower, while the 700-800 lbs yearling steers were 6.00 to 8.00 higher with good demand. Feeder heifers 300-600 lbs were unevenly steady with a good supply, however the 600-700 lbs value added heifers were sharply higher with good demand. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher with a good supply and slaughter bulls were mostly steady except for the high yielding ultra lean bulls that were 3.00 higher with strong demand.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $446.90, low $316.07, median $403.56 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
