As filed

Compared to last week, there were very few true weight comparisons due to last weeks light run, but steers and heifers sold with a steady to firm undertone. Demand was good with some quality groups of calves and yearlings in town. Cooler temps are also in the forecast with even a chance for some rain in the area. Supply was moderate to 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.
