Compared to last Monday feeder steer and heifer calves sold steady on weaned, thin-fleshed packages and yearlings.

Slaughter cows sold 5.00 lower with light to moderate demand under heavy supply. Slaughter bulls sold 1.00 to 2.00 lower with moderate to good demand.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $445.63, low $349.69, median $404.73 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
