Compared to last week: Light numbers on light feeders so trend not applicable. Heavy steers were steady to 4.00 lower. Heifers were on a steady to higher undertone. Majority of feeders came in large load lots today. Demand was good. Next week Oct.17th, is a Herford Influenced sale, expecting 1500 head of feeders, starting at 10:00 am.

Heifers 700–800 lb: high $362.22, low $321.00, median $345.16 across 18 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
