Feeder steers weighing under 500 lbs. were 8.00 to 10.00 higher while the steers weighing over 500 lbs. were 5.00 to 8.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs. were 5.00 to 8.00 higher while the heavier heifers over 500 lbs. were 3,00 to 6,00 higher. Slaughter cows were steady. Slaughter bulls were mostly steady with the higher dressing bulls 4.00 to 5.00 higher.

30 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $462.61, low $362.40, median $439.70 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
