Compared to last week: Yearling steers and heifers were mostly steady on limited comparable sales. Fleshy unweaned steer and heifer calves were 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good. The area remains dry and unseasonably warm for Fall. Slaughter cows were 4.00 to 9.00 higher.

32 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.67, low $343.16, median $438.61 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
