Compared to the last tested auction two weeks ago, a light offering this week but overall a good quality offering of feeders with the best test on the 450-600 lb heifers selling 8.00-12.00 higher, 600-750 lb heifers sold fully steady to firm with feeder steers all selling with a firm to higher undertone on a light test. Slaughter cows sold steady. Demand was good on a light supply with feeders all selling on a very active market with the bulk of the receipts heifers weighing 450-725 lbs.

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.
