As filed

Compared to last week, steers over 600 lbs sold 3.00 to 10.00 higher with the exception of steers weighing 750 to 849 lbs selling 5.00 to 7.00 lower and 900 to 950 lbs selling 12.00 lower. Steers under 600 lbs not enough for market test. Heifers over 650 lbs sold 2.00 to 12.00 higher except heifers weighing 700 to 749 lbs and 800 to 849 lbs selling steady to 2.00 lower. Heifers under 650 lbs not enough for a true market test. Very good demand for a heavy supply of large calves 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.
