As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 550 lbs firm to 10.00 higher, over 550 lbs steady. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs 5.00-15.00 higher, over 550 lbs firm to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Supply moderate. The cattle market continues to look strong to start the year with cheaper corn and a rising feeder index helping to push futures higher so far this week.

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.
