As filed

Compared to last week's lighter supply with mostly smaller drafts of cattle, several loads and larger groups were featured this week and steers sold 5.00-10.00 higher with spots up to 13.00 higher and heifers sold steady to 6.00 higher. Supply was moderate to heavy and the quality and condition was attractive with most of the cattle on the yearling side. Demand was good for both the yearlings and calves. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-8.00 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.
