Compared to last Tuesday feeder steers sold steady to 2.00 lower. Feeder heifers sold mostly steady. There was good demand for feeder and yearling classes. Very good demand for weaned packages and groups of feeder classes. Slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher. No test on slaughter bulls due to no comparable receipts for last week. Good demand for slaughter classes.

29 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.97, low $421.14, median $465.60 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
