Compared to the sale last week: Limited number of light steers both weeks. Yearling steers 850-950 lbs 4.00-6.00 lower. Heifers 650 lbs 1.00 higher, 750 lbs 1.00-4.00 lower, 850-900 lbs steady to 1.00 higher. Many load lots of mostly yearlings, along with plenty of smaller strings of both calves and yearlings in the offering today. Demand was good, especially on the load lots. Slaughter cows: Breaker and Boner cows steady to 1.00 higher with light numbers. Lean cows 2.00 lower. Not enough bulls for comparison today.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $484.12, low $359.91, median $414.58 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
