Compared to the last special two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady to firm on comparable weights and quality. Overall quality was average to good with several consignments of new crop unweaned calves in the offering. Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate to heavy. Best demand was on the better quality steers and heifers weighing 400-650 lbs. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 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.
