As filed

Compared to last week, lightweight steer calves under 500lbs sold sharply higher, and steers weighing 500lbs to 750lbs sold mostly 15.00 to 35.00 higher. Heifers under 600lbs sold mostly 20.00 to 40.00 higher, and heavier weights had few comparisons. 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.
