As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher with a couple spots up to 10.00 higher on calves. Demand was good for a very good quality offering and a few more of the calves are coming to town weaned now. Supply was moderate. Cattle futures posted sharp gains on Tuesday.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $452.11, low $345.78, median $422.91 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
