As filed

Compared to the last reported sale two weeks ago, steers sold 5.00- 15.00 higher with spots 20.00 higher on those under 550 lbs and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was good for a moderate supply that was heavy to the new crop calves. Quite a bit of field work is being done and a few fields have been planted to corn. Slaughter cows sold 5.00-10.00 higher but several cows are also going back to the farm to feed.

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.
