As filed

Compared to last week: Steers were steady except under 600 lbs. 10.00 to 15.00 higher. Heifers under 650 lbs. were 5.00 to 10.00 higher; over 650 lbs. too light to test. Quality and demand was good. Slaughter cows and slaughter bulls were steady with a high demand.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $488.56, low $381.42, median $452.38 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
