As filed

Compared to last week, a very light offering this week with most of the offerings selling in small groups and singles but several groups of 400-600 steer calves selling steady to firm, and several groups of 450-550 lb heifers selling with a firm to higher undertone. Demand was moderate to good on light receipts of feeders. Slaughter steers and heifers sold steady to firm with slaughter cows trading steady.

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $262.69, low $218.12, median $248.48 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
