Compared to last Monday the feeder market was mixed with a good quality offering. Feeder bulls 300-400 lbs were 3.00 to 4.00 higher with good demand, while bulls over 400 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 lower throughout the weight classes. Feeder heifers 300-600 lbs were 3.00 to 7.00 higher with a good supply and heifers over 600 lbs were steady to 2.00 lower but with limited comparisons. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 3.00 lower with a good supply and slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 higher with good demand.

25 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $229.41, low $181.32, median $205.81 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
