As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 600lbs sold with a higher undertone, and comparable 700-900lb steers sold 8.00 to 15.00 higher. The best test of 400-600lb heifers sold steady to 10.00 higher. All comparisons based on very limited receipts from last week's sale. Slaughter cows and bulls sold from 3.00 to 8.00 higher. Demand was good for all classes in the offering 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.
