No comparison. Demand was good with a nice run of yearlings, with some new crop calves sprinkled in. A good crowd in town with the rains overnight, with an active internet bid. Next special feeder sale will be October 5th.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $507.55, low $424.71, median $486.26 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
