As filed

Compared to last week, steers were lightly tested but sold mostly steady while heifer calves sold with a firm to higher undertone and the best test was on yearling heifers which sold steady. Demand was moderate to good for a moderate supply highlighted by several loads of yearling heifers. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 lower.

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.
