Compared to the previous auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers traded with a solidly higher undertone. Typically light summer receipts for northeast Missouri still brought in plenty of buyers looking to own more cattle.

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.
