As filed

Compared to last week, Feeder steers and bulls not well established due to a lack of comparable receipts, however a lower undertone was noted. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs. 2.00-4.00 higher, over 500 lbs. 6.00 to 15.00 lower. Slaughter cows 3.00-8.00 lower. Slaughter bulls steady. Quality fair to good. Demand moderate.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $456.21, low $309.60, median $362.19 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
