Compared to last week feeder steers were steady to 15.00 higher. Feeder heifers were steady to 15.00 higher with some high quality calves coming in today even though a shorter run. Slaughter Cows were 3-10.00 lower this week. Slaughter bulls were steady to 4.00 lower this week. A couple really nice sets of replacement cow/calf pairs with excellent calves at side were offered this week and and also several top end bred cows, mostly Brangus were also sold as replacements.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $410.62, low $306.82, median $366.24 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
