As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 700lbs sold 10.00 to 20.00 lower, and steers over 700lbs were 1.00 to 4.00 lower. LIghtweight heifers under 600lbs sold 15.00 to 25.00 lower and heavier weights had little to compare to. Quality was below average for the majority of the offering this week. As the day progressed, demand and prices increased as the futures board trended higher and made up for some losses in the past few days.

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.
