Compared to last Wednesday feeder steers and heifers sold unevenly steady to firm with very good demand for weaned packages and yearlings and a slightly softer undertone for fleshy calves. Yearling steers noticeably higher in a lite test. Quality was good through attractive today. Slaughter cows sold 4.00 to 6.00 lower with moderate demand. Slaughter bulls sold steady with good demand.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $431.17, low $343.72, median $401.72 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
