As filed

Compared to last week, pee-wee calves under 450lbs sold with a sharply higher undertone and heavier weights sold mostly 4.00 to 16.00 higher. The best test of 450lb to 600lb heifers sold 3.00 to 12.00 higher, and other weights sold with a steady to firm undertone. Demand was very good for this wean-vac yearling special on a moderate to 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.
