Compared to last week: Steers 5.00 higher on average quality, except 550-650lbs 20.00 higher on attractive quality. Heifers 10.00-20.00 higher on much improved quality. Some regular buyers who were absent last week returned this week. After two weeks of stagnation, the heifer market has finally caught up to the steer market. Slaughter cows steady in a light test. Slaughter bulls 3.00 lower. Cooler temperatures are forecasted for next week.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $442.90, low $327.33, median $400.64 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
