Compared to last week, a very light offering this week of feeders sold mostly in small packages and singles with very few comparisons. Slaughter cows and slaughter steers and heifers sold steady to firm. Supply was light with demand moderate on the feeders.

15 sales

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $262.69, low $223.56, median $246.96 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
