Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 15.00-25.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves 20.00-30.00 lower with spots up to 40.00 lower. Demand moderate. Quality plain to average, weaned cattle coming off grass was in the buyer's favor today. Hot and dry conditions continue to reduce receipts, with triple-digit temperatures expected over the next 10 days. CME futures are trading sharply higher today but did little to help the cash market.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $477.14, low $374.01, median $420.05 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
