As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers holding steady with lower undertone due to lighter receipts from previous week. Feeder heifers holding steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter bulls steady to 1.00 lower. Average to attractive offerings, with moderate to good demand. We welcomed the cooler weather, but still need rain desperately.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $488.56, low $381.42, median $452.38 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
