Feeder calves were mostly unweaned and selling off the bred cows earlier in the day, but good quality sold with good demand. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady to spots 2.00 lower.

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.
