As filed

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, a very light offering of feeders were lightly tested with a light test of 600-650 lb steers and 450-650 lb heifers selling with a higher undertone all other weights were not tested. Slaughter steers and heifers traded steady to firm with slaughter cows selling 3.00-8.00 higher on a good quality offering.

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.
