As filed

Due to limited number of receipts on feeder cattle the trends were much higher with increased run this week after extreme flooding last week. Feeder steers 300-400lbs sold 10.00-12.00 sharply higher, 500-600lbs steers sold 5.00-6.00 higher and steers over 700lbs were steady. Feeder heifers 300-400lbs were 8.00-10.00 higher with 500-700lbs heifers were steady to up 5.00-6.00. Light feeders under 400lbs were in good demand for weaned, pre-conditioned packages and good buyer participation. Slaughter cows were in high demand up 5.00-6.00 with slaughter bulls being steady.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $428.62, low $320.54, median $380.37 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
