As filed

Compared to a thin test from two weeks ago, steers over 850 lbs sold unevenly steady and heifers over 800 lbs sold steady to 10.00 higher. Demand was good from the buyers in the crowd. The bulk of the offerings of yearlings sold in load lots with packages mixed in the run. It was noted that the majority of the weigh up on the consignments was in the buyers favor.

Steers 700–800 lb: high $417.64, low $335.47, median $388.76 across 14 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
