As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows 3.00 to 7.00 higher. Quality was greatly improved from last week but with a couple of the usual players not in their regular seats, the highs of last week were only met in a few weights and classes of cattle. Some top quality 600-650 lb steers and heifers did manage to tack a few dollars onto last week's top end. Supply moderate, demand good.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $520.32, low $437.00, median $488.53 across 14 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
