Compared to last week the feeder market was stronger with a good quality offering. Feeder steers 600 lbs and under were 5.00 to 10.00 higher or greater in several spots with a good supply and strong demand, while the yearling steers were 3.00 to 8.00 higher with a good supply and strong demand as well. Feeder heifers 500 lbs and under were SHARPLY HIGHER across all the weight classes with a good supply and strong demand. Buyers were highly active today and willing pay premiums for high quality, long weaned, and thinner conditioned feeders, while discounting the heavier conditioned new crop calves and increasing the price spread in most weight classes. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher with a good supply and slaughter bulls were steady with good demand.

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $511.01, low $375.39, median $462.82 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
