Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 700 lbs mostly 7.00-20.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs mostly 20.00-50.00 lower. The offering included mostly unweaned calves with quality average to plain compared to the good quality weaned calves last week.Buyers were not as as active as in past weeks with the futures down the limit yesterday. No trend on cows and bulls not reported last week.

24 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $486.30, low $387.02, median $460.10 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
