As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold with a steady to lower undertone based on limited receipts and plainer type calves for much of the offering this week. Rain and thunderstorms in the area contributed to the light run. Demand 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.
