As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady. Demand was moderate to good for a light to moderate supply. Some good quality new crop calves were offered and then a few consignments of harder weaned yearlings along with several groups of bulls. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-3.00 higher.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $460.56, low $332.17, median $405.00 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
