As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold steady. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Little different mix on offer this week as more calves start to make their way to town. Most did have the desired two rounds of shots but not a very high percentage of weaned cattle available. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $450.41, low $343.60, median $407.89 across 11 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
