As filed

Compared to last Wednesdays higher trade, feeder steers under 575 lbs 5.00-10.00 lower, over 575 lbs steady to 4.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs steady, over 500 lbs 5.00-10.00 lower. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Beef cutout values were sharply lower Wednesday while feeder cattle futures recovered some of the losses seen over the past week. The lower trending board has eased the feeder market a bit for now with the feeder index down 2.23/cwt from the recent record high.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $516.16, low $414.87, median $480.03 across 20 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
