As filed

Compared to last week, Feeder Steers unevenly steady, Feeder Bulls mostly steady, Feeder Heifers $2.00-$4.00 lower, Slaughter Cattle & Slaughter Bulls not well established. Quality fair to fancy. Demand for Value Added Feeder Cattle strong, Demand for Slaughter Cattle and Non-Value Added Feeder Cattle moderate.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $499.10, low $358.46, median $438.93 across 16 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
