Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 500-700 lbs sold steady to 2.00 higher with 700-800 lbs trading steady on a few comparable sales and 2 pot loads of 9 weight yearling steers selling with a firm undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 500-700 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher with weights over 600 lbs not tested. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 lower with most decline on the average to lean cows. Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate. Overall quality on calves was good with quality on heifer calves this week much improved over last week.

22 sales

Steers 0–100 lb: high $259.77, low $224.09, median $243.68 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
