As filed

Compared to last Thursday both the feeder and slaughter markets were higher with a good quality offering. Good quality feeder steers 500 lbs and under were sharply higher, while the 500-700 lbs steers were 3.00 to 6.00 higher with a good supply and strong demand. Yearling steers appeared stronger but with limited comparisons. Feeder heifers 600 lbs and under were mostly 2.00 to 6.00 higher with strong demand, while the yearling heifers were steady with a good supply. Slaughter cows 4.00 to 5.00 higher with a good supply and slaughter bulls were mostly 2.00 to 3.00 higher, except for the extremely lean heavy muscled bulls that were sharply higher with strong demand.

34 sales

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.
