As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady. Demand was moderate to good for a light supply. The surrounding area could sure use a rain just to settle the dust if nothing else. Slaughter cows sold 5.00-7.00 lower.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $492.10, low $375.17, median $453.16 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
