As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady but there were some spots uneven from 5.00 higher on steer calves to 5.00-8.00 lower off the top of the trading range on heifer calves. Demand was moderate to good with buyers being pretty selective on quality and the slightly plainer cattle didn't see quite as much demand. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows sold firm to 5.00 higher.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $447.60, low $357.18, median $413.34 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
