As filed

Compared to last week: Steers over 550lbs 5.00 higher, under 550lbs unevenly steady. Heifer steady to 4.00 higher except those under 400lbs 5.00-10.00 higher in a light test. Trade opened on plain-quality offerings, except for a few attractive drafts of unweaned calves. Quality improved as the sale progressed, lifting the market, with buyers placing more value on quality than on number of days weaned. Calves with the description Value-Added are fancy and unweaned. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls steady. Demand remains very good for replacement cows and thin fleshed cows to return to feed. Temperatures will remain consistent over the next 10 days, suitable for starting calves.

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.
