We are back to the regular Thursday Sales. We had a nice run of feeder cattle coming off grass. There was no recent sale to compare to since we have not had a Thursday sale for a month. Next week they have a nice string of calves already consigned. The receipts were moderate with good demand.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $514.93, low $392.41, median $436.71 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
