As filed

Compared to last week, receipts were too light for a true price comparison, but steer and heifer calves sold with a mostly steady undertone. Demand was light with a week full of 100 degree weather in the area.

34 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $439.08, low $337.37, median $394.59 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
