Compared to the sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold with a higher undertone noted although not well compared. Nearly all the load lots were from two consignors who brought more than 500 head of eight-, nine-, and ten-weight steers. Demand was good today and included active internet bidding. Supply was moderate and included several load lots.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $509.23, low $388.25, median $461.09 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
