As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers sold mostly steady on a light test, with feeder heifers selling sharply higher on calves and yearlings. Breakers slaughter cows sold too light to test, while boning and lean slaughter cows sold 9.00 to 10.00 higher, while slaughter bulls sold too light to trend. Trade was active with a good demand and a light supply.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $433.70, low $334.13, median $380.56 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
