As filed

Compared to last week, based on very limited receipts this week and last, steers and heifers sold with a steady undertone. After weeks of feeder cattle futures trending down, with a sharp down on Monday, the past two days have shown a small amount of recovery in the board. The extreme heat of July is keeping all sales in the area very light. Demand was light.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $502.40, low $370.33, median $436.30 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
