As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady except for heifer calves weighing 400-525 lbs selling 10.00-15.00 higher. Demand was good to very good for a moderate supply. A nice offering of calves, stockers and yearlings were on hand. Slaughter cows sold 5.00-7.00 higher.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $524.49, low $388.35, median $466.90 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
