As filed

Compared to last week: Steers were steady under 600 lbs. and steers above 600 lbs. were lightly tested with a lower undertone. Heifers were 14.00 lower under 550 lbs. with heifers over 550 lbs. lightly tested with a lower undertone. Quality was plain to average with most calves having fewer weaning dates. Slaughter cows were 2.00 higher with a high demand and good quality. Slaughter bulls were lightly tested with few receipts showing a low undertone as well.

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.
