As filed

Compared to the last reported sale four weeks ago, steer calves under 600 lbs traded with a higher undertone, heavier weights steady. Feeder heifers mostly steady to 5.00 higher with a few weights 10.00 to 15.00 higher. Slaughter cows 6.00 to 12.00 higher. Nearly all the usual players plus a couple extras made for a very lively market as the local barn caught up with the continuous climb in the cash feeder trade since the last sale. Several unweaned calves in the mix but discounts were minimal. Supply moderate, demand good to very good.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $465.77, low $363.10, median $427.78 across 7 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
