Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers steady to 4.00 higher. Very good demand for this nice offering of steers and heifers. The market was active across all weights, higher cattle futures complex and lower corn futures helped to support the feeder market at the auction. Many long strings of attractive yearling steers and heifers, flesh condition varied quite a bit and the fleshy cattle were much tougher to sell. The back months of the CME Live Cattle contract at 232.00 is causing cattle feeders concern.

27 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $484.12, low $394.88, median $431.35 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
