As filed

Compared to last week: Steers 400-450lbs, 5.00 higher; 450-500lbs, 14.00 higher; 500-550lbs, 5.00 higher; 550-700lbs, sharply higher. The best comparison on Heifers was 500-600lbs, 5.00 higher. 600-650lbs were sharply higher on a light test. Very good demand in the seats and on the internet for a very nice offering of loads and large packages, selling on an active market. Most of the offering was home raised, carrying at least spring shots. Those carrying both spring and fall brought premiums. Most of the offering had light to medium flesh. Offerings of weaned up calve numbers are growing, with several packages offered today, carrying more of a moderate to heavy flesh.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $532.88, low $436.18, median $456.38 across 12 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
