As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers sold 6.00-11.00 higher, feeder heifers sold steady 7.00 higher, and feeder bulls sold 4.00-12.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls were not well tested. Quality was average and demand was good.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $436.12, low $316.66, median $355.55 across 20 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

Mississippi weighted averages
One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Mississippi auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
