Compared to the sale last week: Limited number of light steers. No comparison. Steers 850 lbs 8.00 lower, 900 lbs 2.00 higher, 950 lbs 3.00 lower. Heifers 750 lbs 3.00 lower with lighter numbers this week, 850-900 lbs steady to 1.00 higher, 950 lbs 3.00-4.00 higher. Many load lots of mostly yearling cattle, along with plenty of smaller strings of both calves and yearlings in the ring today. Demand good, especially on the load lots. Slaughter cows: No Breaker cows last week. Upward trend trend today. Boner cows steady to 2.00 higher. Lean cows steady. Light test on bulls today. No comparison.

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.
