Compared to the sale two weeks ago; Steers 950 lbs 12.00-13.00 higher. Heifers 750 lbs steady, 850 lbs 2.00 lower, 900 lbs steady. Most of the auction consisted of load lots of yearlings today, including a sale of over 500 steers weighing 950+ lbs. Demand was good both online and in the arena. Limit number of slaughter cows today. No comparison.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $518.21, low $371.25, median $473.97 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
