As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers under 700 lbs sold mostly steady, yearling cattle over 700 lbs sold 4.00 to 8.00 higher. Several loads of yearling were in the barn today and a good supply of weaned and vaccinated calves in the offering. Demand was good.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $514.71, low $388.71, median $471.46 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
