As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers 5.00-10.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand very good. Supply light. Feeder offering mostly small to medium size consignments of calves weighing 350-600 lbs. The cattle market continues to be red hot with futures higher again Tuesday although beef cutouts did close lower. Lighter run following heavy rain throughout the area with 1500-2000 head expected next week including several heavier yearling cattle.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $453.15, low $349.60, median $408.91 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
