As filed

The last reported sale was three weeks ago. Comparison is not applicable. Upward trend noted. Most of the sale consisted of many load lots of yearling steers, along with plenty of smaller packages. Light test of heifers and lightweight calves today. Demand good throughout the sale. The next feeder auction is July 31.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $506.91, low $391.81, median $474.23 across 11 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
