Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold 8.00-10.00 higher with the exception of the 500-700 lbs. steers and they were 5.00-7.00 lower. Feeder heifers traded sharply higher. Cooler temperatures and some rain sparked demand for the steers and heifers. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady.

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.
