Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers were steady to 4.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves under 700 lbs. were 4.00-8.00 higher. Demand was very good on a moderate supply. Last week's feeder auction was cancelled due to the heavy rains and flooding.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $507.84, low $348.32, median $445.72 across 35 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
