As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was good for a moderate to heavy supply. The warmer temperatures are a welcome relief from the last few weeks of cold, ice and snow, but here comes the mud. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 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.
