Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold with a firm undertone on a light supply. It was customer appreciation day at the barn with a free brisket meal and plenty of door prizes for those in attendance. The afternoon auction also featured the 2024 World Champion Livestock Auctioneer, Wade Leist from the state of Michigan.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $515.25, low $408.52, median $467.09 across 14 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
