Compared to last week, feeder steers over 800 lbs sold 15.00 to 20.00 higher with steers weighing 700 to 780 lbs selling steady to 2.00 higher. Heifers over 700 lbs sold 7.00 to 15.00 higher. Steers and heifers under 700 lbs not enough for market test. Good demand for a moderate supply.

29 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $461.58, low $359.08, median $437.89 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
