Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold steady on a light test. Demand was good and supply was made up of mostly smaller smaller groups of feeders. Starting to see more unweaned fall calves showing up in the offerings. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady.

27 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $510.74, low $431.11, median $482.94 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
