As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 10.00 to 12.00 higher. Feeder heifers 6.00 to 8.00 higher. To few steer and heifer calves for an accurate trend but a stronger undertone was noted. Demand was moderate. Quality was average.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $506.48, low $364.84, median $440.83 across 35 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
