As filed

Compared to last week, a lighter run didn't offer too many similar sales but steers and heifers sold mostly steady. The highlight of the sale was a group of yearling heifers that sold with good demand. More and more new crop calves are starting to show up. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower.

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.
