As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers over 450 lbs. sold 2.00-15.00 higher. Feeder heifers over 400 lbs. sold steady to 15.00 higher. Not enough lighter weights for a comparison. In the slaughter portion of the auction slaughter cows and bulls sold steady. Supply was light with very good demand. Nine head of 623 lb. steers sold for 474.00/cwt.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.78, low $364.36, median $447.56 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
