As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steaty to 5.00 higher with spots up to 10.00 higher on some of the bigger groups of middle weight yearling steers weighing from 625-800 lbs. Demand was good for a moderate supply with mostly yearlings on hand but some nice groups of calves also. A good portion of the cattle were in an attractive condition coming off grass. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-6.00 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.
