As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers steady to firm based on a limited market test. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Supply light. Conditions are completely reversed from last year throughout this area with way more grass than cattle and lots of hay being rolled up this week. Early consignments for next week include two loads of 900 lb steers.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $519.42, low $374.69, median $457.99 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
