As filed

Compared to last week, lightweight steers under 600lbs sold steady to 8.00 higher, and yearling steers over 600lbs were mostly 4.00 to 12.00 higher. Heifers under 450lbs sold with a higher undertone and heifers over 450lbs were mostly 2.00 to 6.00 higher. A very high quality day with many reputation consignments of weaned and vaccinated yearlings, some nice unweaned calves, and some stand out yearling consignments of 700lb-950lb steers. Demand was very good on a heavy 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.
