Compared to last Saturday the feeder market was stronger with an average quality offering. Good quality feeder steers 650 lbs and under were 2.00 to 6.00 higher or greater, with spots of sharply higher with a good supply and strong demand. Yearling steers appeared steady but limited head to head comparisons. Feeder heifers 650 lbs and under were at least 6.00 to 10.00 higher or greater with spots of sharply higher with a good supply and strong demand. Buyers were active and a stronger undertone was seen and noted across all classes of feeder calves. Slaughter cows were mostly steady with good demand and slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 lower on the lower yielding bulls with a good supply.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $432.00, low $342.05, median $396.70 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
