As filed

Compared to last week, there were very few true weight comparisons due to last week's light run, but steers and heifers sold with a firm to higher undertone. There were several good strings of quality calves and demand was good with some much need rain to ease up the dry conditions in the area. Wheeler Livestock held their first online video auction with 3 pot loads of yearlings up for offering. 70 steers with a base weight of 835# selling at 320.00, 68 heifers with a base weight of 725# selling at 331.00 and 65 mix steers with a base weight of 800# bringing 337.50. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady. Supply was moderate.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $443.02, low $355.00, median $409.35 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
