As filed

Compared to last week, the steers and heifers under 700 lbs. sold mostly 10.00 to 15.00 higher. There were three loads of yearling steers, straight off wheat pastures, that weighed 750-850 lbs. in the offering that sold from 377.50-386.00/cwt. It was a lighter offering again this week, with some heavy storms rolling through the area the past couple of days. Demand was very good on a moderate to light 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.
