As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers steady to firm. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs 5.00-10.00 lower, over 550 lbs steady. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Supply light. Futures action was higher Tuesday but disappointing with feeder contracts making a modest rebound following Friday's sell-off. A special cow sale followed the feeders with several nice bred heifers and cows finding strong demand.

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.
