As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 500 lbs sold 15.00-30.00 higher with some renewed optimism in the market and steers over 500 lbs sold steady to 15.00 higher. Heifers sold mostly 5.00-15.00 higher but with spots 20.00 higher on a nice offering of 550-625 lb heifers. Demand was good for a moderate supply. Cattle futures have rallied following the news that the framework of a peace deal has been agreed upon with Iran. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 lower, bulls 5.00-10.00 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.
