As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were 2.00 to 8.00 higher on limited comparable sales. Trade was light to moderate on good demand. The area received several inches of rain that hampered cattle movement. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady to firm.

Steers 600–700 lb: high $453.31, low $317.06, median $371.04 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
