Compared to the auction last week, both feeder steers and heifers were unevenly steady. Short weaned calves were steady to weak. 600 - 700 lb steer calves weaned over 45 days were steady to firm. 500 - 600 lb heifers were 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Demand was good for today's light to moderate offering. Trade was active.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $513.77, low $402.05, median $480.35 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
