As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers under 600 lbs sold 5.00 to 15.00 higher, over 600 lbs sold mostly steady with a limited amount of comparables. The majority of the feeders were new crop calves, with many being weaned and vaccinated. Buyers showed very good demand for the lighter weight grass calves, but overall demand was good on a moderate supply. Slaughter cows and bulls were trading 2.00 to 4.00 higher.

31 sales

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.
