As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs and heifers under 500 lbs were lightly tested, 550-750 lb steers and 500-750 lb heifers sold mostly 3.00-6.00 higher with 750-800 lb steers selling mostly steady compared to similar weights and quality. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate supply of feeders, with the bulk of the sales on feeders weighing 600-800 lbs selling in small groups and lots with several strings 20-35 head groups. Slaughter steers and heifers along with the slaughter cows both traded steady to firm.

Steers 0–100 lb: high $259.77, low $218.18, median $241.70 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
