As filed

No comparisons to last week and market not fully established due to low number of receipts due extreme rain and flooding in the area. However there was good demand for feeder and slaughter classes.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $492.24, low $365.18, median $451.54 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
