Heifers had little to compare to last week but sold with a mostly steady to firm undertone. Slaughter cows and bulls were unevenly steady from 2.00 lower to 3.00 higher. Demand was moderate on a moderate supply.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.78, low $364.36, median $447.56 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
