As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, feeder steers weighing 650-750 lbs sold firm to 2.00 higher, all other steer calves were lightly tested. Feeder heifers had the best test on 600-750 lbs selling 2.00-5.00 higher with the most advance on the 7 weights. Slaughter cows sold steady. Demand was good on a light to moderate offering, with a good quality offering of 650-750 lb steers and 600-750 lb heifers all selling on and active market.

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.
