As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold 10.00-20.00 lower except for a load of 566 lb steers that sold steady. Heifers sold 5.00-10.00 lower. Demand was moderate for a light supply with mostly smaller packages of calves offered. The tide has turned over the last week with fed cattle trading lower and cattle futures seeing significant losses. Slaughter cows sold steady to 4.00 lower.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $524.49, low $388.35, median $466.03 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
