As filed

Compared to last report, feeder steers sold 8.00 to 19.00 higher, with no trend available on feeder heifers. No trend available on slaughter cows and bulls due to not enough comparable sales. With to few comparable sales on sheep and goats to trend. Trade was active with a good demand with a light to moderate supply.

Heifers 600–700 lb: high $377.79, low $336.96, median $347.33 across 9 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
