As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, a light supply of feeder steers and heifers sold mostly 5.00 to 10.00 lower with the exception of some flyweight steers and some 500-600 lb heifers which sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Little different mix on offer this week, with a wide variety of type and kind creating a challenge for buyers to string may purchases together. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $520.32, low $437.00, median $488.53 across 14 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
