Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves weighing 500-700 lbs sold steady, with 700-850 lbs selling with a firm undertone on limited comparisons. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs were lightly tested, with 550-600 lbs selling steady and weights over 650 lbs mostly pot loads lots and bigger bunches all sold with a firm to higher undertone. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate supply with the best demand on the 6 pot loads of good quality heifers weighing 695-960 lbs all sold on and active market. Slaughter steers and heifers sold 1.00-3.00 lower with slaughter cows on nice offering traded steady to firm.

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.
