As filed

Compared to the last reported sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold firm to 8.00 higher. The best test was on a nice offering of 6 weight cattle. Demand was good to very good for a light supply on a hot day. Slaughter cows sold with a firm to higher undertone.

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.
