No comparison made today as the previously reported auction was on June 5, 2024. Outstanding offering of yearling steers and heifers in load lots available today. Demand was very good for today's light offering. Trade was very active.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $503.62, low $471.06, median $486.76 across 10 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
