Compared to two weeks ago: Limited number of lightweight steers, 800 lb steers 7.00-10.00 lower. Heifers 700 lbs steady to 2.00 lower, 800-900 lbs 12.00-14.00 lower. CME feeder cattle futures dropping in the last two weeks, showing steady today. Many load lots of mostly yearlings, along with smaller groups in the offering today. Demand good in the arena and on the internet. Slaughter cows: Breaker cows 2.00 higher. Not enough Boner or Lean cows for comparison. Limited bulls, no comparison.

Heifers 600–700 lb: high $425.33, low $330.47, median $380.35 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
