As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady. Several more new crop calves this week with most coming in off the cow. A couple loads of big yearling steers highlighted the sale. Demand was moderate to good for a light supply. Slaughter cows sold steady to 5.00 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.
