As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold steady to firm and heifers sold with a firm to higher undertone based on last weeks light test. Demand was good for a light to moderate supply that was highlighted by a couple loads of yearling heifers. Several smaller groups of home-raised yearlings were also on hand along with a few calves. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-6.00 lower.

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.
