As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold 3.00-8.00 higher. Demand was good for a moderate supply that included a few long strings of fancy grazing type cattle that sold for some new highs. The new crop calves started showing up this week as well with a variance of flesh conditions and handling.

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.
