As filed

Compared to last week's sale; Steer calves 400-500 lbs sold 10.00 higher and 550-600 lbs were 8.00 higher while 500-550 lbs sold 10.00 lower. Heifer calves 450-500 lbs were 10.00 higher with 550-600 lbs being 8.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold steady. Trade was active with good demand on smaller numbers. Slaughter cows and slaughter bulls had no comparable sales but a higher market was felt. Excellent buyer attendance.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $432.90, low $314.16, median $379.18 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
