As filed

Compared to last week, a lighter supply offered only a few true comparisons but steers and heifers sold mostly steady. Supply was light to moderate and demand was moderate to good. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.

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.
