Compared to the auction 2 weeks ago, 600 -700 lb steer calves were 8.00 to 10.00 lower and 800 weight cattle were 6.00 - 9.00 lower. Heifers weighing 600 - 700 lb were 9.00 -12.00 lower. Today's small offering consisted of many small packages of both steers and heifers with several load lots available. Demand was good.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $513.77, low $448.37, median $481.58 across 19 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
