As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers were 5.00 to 25.00 higher. Feeder heifers were steady to 8.00 higher. Slaughter cows were 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 higher. A really nice set of young cow/calf pairs and bred cows offered this week as well as some heavier feeder cattle to choose from.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $468.96, low $327.18, median $405.60 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
