As filed

Compared to last week, steers over 550 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Steers under 550 lbs not enough for market test. Heifers over 550 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher, with heifers under 550 lbs not enough for market test. Demand was good to very good with a good offering of heavy steers coming off grass.

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.
