Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold steady to 3.00 lower with a few higher quality calves selling 3.00-5.00 higher. Feeder heifers traded 4.00-6.00 higher except the 400-600 lb. calves and they were 3.00-4.00 lower on lighter demand than last week. The feeder calf buyers showed good demand for the better quality calves especially those in favorable condition. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 1.00-3.00 lower.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $426.46, low $339.50, median $394.72 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
