As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves sold 5.00 to 15.00 higher. Yearlings not tested. Demand was good. Heavy rainfall in the area and predicted into the weekend had buyers in good spirits. Slaughter cows were 5.00 to 6.00 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.
