As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 450-600 lbs sold steady to firm, with spots 3.00 higher on the 550-600 lb steers, 600-700 lb steers sold unevenly steady to 7.00 lower, 700-750 lb sold mostly steady with weights over 750 lb not well tested. Feeder heifers weighing 400-550 lb sold steady to firm, with 550-600 lbs and 650-700 lbs trading mostly 5.00-7.00 lower and all other weights of heifers lightly tested. Slaughter steers and heifers on comparable numbers with last week sold steady to 4.00 lower, with slaughter cows trading firm to 2.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good on heavy receipts this week, with overall quality not as attractive as last week especially on feeders over 550 lbs with many large consignments of mix crossbred feeders in the offering selling with moderate demand.

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.
