As filed

Compared to last week, the majority of steers sold 10.00-15.00 higher except for the 550-625 lb steers selling mostly steady. Heifers sold uneven with calves under 500 lbs selling 5.00-10.00 higher, 500-600 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 lower off the highs last week and heifers over 600 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was good to very good for a moderate supply that was hampered by the extreme cold early in the week and icy backroads. Cattle futures had a stellar day Wednesday and a few new faces in the seats made for an active market. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-5.00 higher.

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.
