As filed

Compared to last week, yearlings saw the best test and steers sold steady to 3.00 lower while heifers sold mostly 10.00 lower when compared to last week's higher market. Steers and heifers under 650 lbs sold with a lower undertone. Supply was light to moderate and outside of the couple bigger consignments of yearlings, the overall quality was below average. Demand was moderate. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower.

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.
