As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs sold 5.00 to 15.00 lower on a very light test. Steers weighing 650 to 900 lbs sold steady to 6.25 higher on a thin test. Feeder heifers did not have enough weight comparisons to accurately trend. Average dressing slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 6.75 higher. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $455.49, low $340.57, median $394.31 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
