Compared to last Monday the feeder market was mixed with an average quality offering. Feeder steers 300-600 lbs were steady to 5.00 higher in spots with a good supply, while the 600-700 lbs steers were 6.00 to 8.00 higher with a good demand for weaned packages and groups. Feeder heifers 500 lbs and under were 3.00 to 6.00 lower with a good supply and spotty demand, while the yearling heifers appeared stronger with a good supply and good demand. Slaughter cows were 3.00 to 6.00 higher with strong demand and slaughter bulls were steady with a good supply.

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $507.01, low $410.51, median $458.69 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
