As filed

Compared to the last reported sale two weeks ago, feeder steers steady. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 lower. Demand good. Supply moderate. Nice feeder offering this week as producers took advantage of the mild late July weather to move some cattle.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $519.42, low $374.69, median $458.20 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
