As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers sold 5.00 to 35.00 lower overall with light demand noted. Feeder bulls weighing up to 450 lbs. sold 10.00 to 25.00 lower with those weighing over 450 lbs. mostly steady. No comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts. Low-quality feeder offerings was noted with abundance of fleshy calves being sold at a discount. Overall lower prices on feeder cattle due to the recent downturn in the feeder cattle futures market. Slaughter cows sold 4.00 to 11.00 lower overall with slaughter bulls 1.00 higher.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $462.86, low $319.64, median $353.65 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
