This is the last Thursday sale until July 11th. Compared to last week steers 600 to 800 lbs sold mostly 10.00 higher and 800 to 950 lb steers sold 5.00 to 7.00 higher. 600 to 750 lb heifers sold 5.00 to 6.00 higher and 750 to 850 lb heifers sold 10.00 higher. We have gotten some really nice rain that is helping the pastures keep up and lifting everyone's spirits. The receipts were light to moderate with good demand.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $456.10, low $346.17, median $399.23 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
