As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers over 550 lbs sold steady, strong undertone noted. Steers and heifers under 550 lbs sold 20.00 higher to sharply higher. Slaughter cows sold steady to 7.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 20.00 higher. Reputation, large lots, quality and condition contributed to buyer's discretion. Good to very good demand for heavy supply.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $458.54, low $344.43, median $406.52 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
