As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs steady to 14.00 lower mostly 3.00-9.00 lower however a few value added steers sold good with the 500-520 lb at 411.00-421.00. Feeder heifers mostly 10.00-20.00 lower on a light test in some classes. Supply was light and demand was weaker with the beginning of the summer heat. Quality was average to plain with the offering being mostly unweaned calves. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter bulls mixed from 1.00 lower to 2.00 higher.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $440.79, low $329.77, median $381.19 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
