Today's quality was very similar to last week's and the demand for feeders remained good despite recent warm temperatures. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 3.00-5.00 lower on a plain quality offering.

27 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $485.45, low $403.31, median $451.75 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
