As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers under 700lbs sold steady to 10.00 lower based on limited comparisons from last week. Another volatile week in the feeder cattle futures board led to some mixed demand, light for plain quality calves, and good demand for the high quality, good conditioned calves in the offering. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly 3.00 to 6.00 lower.

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.
