Compared to last week, steers under 600lbs sold mostly 5.00 to 12.00 higher, and steers over 600lbs sold with a steady to weaker undertone based on limited comparisons on heavier weights with last weeks high quality yearling special. Heifers under 550lbs sold mostly 3.00 to 7.00 higher and heavier weights sold with a steady undertone. 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.
