Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 10.00 higher with an especially nice offering of 400-575 lb steers. Demand was good to very good for a moderate to heavy supply with a couple cow dispersals that sold in the evening. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower.

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.
