Compared to last week feeder steers and feeder heifers sold unevenly steady on a lite test. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady to up 2.00 with good demand. Even with very warm temperatures feeder and buyer demand was good.

33 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $428.62, low $320.54, median $380.37 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
