As filed

Compared to the last feeder auction two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher with several weights sharply higher. Slaughter cows 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Really high quality offering on hand this week with several large reputation strings available, with a large percentage of the cattle weaned but also carrying some flesh. Supply moderate, demand good.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $450.73, low $378.91, median $420.13 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
