As filed

Compared to last week, steers over 500lbs sold unevenly steady from 3.00 lower to 5.00 higher, and steers under 500lbs were not well tested. Heifers over 450lbs were 3.00 to 6.00 higher, and heifers under 450lbs sold with higher undertone based on limited comparisons. Demand was good on a moderate supply.

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.
