As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers sold firm to 10.00 higher, with instances as much as 20.00-30.00 higher for the right kind of grazing steer calves. Quality was attractive with a good mix of both calves and yearlings. Demand was good and supply moderate.

16 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $452.66, low $381.07, median $431.09 across 16 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
