As filed

Compared to last week steers under 800 lbs did not have a good test. Feeder steers over 800 lbs sold mostly 4.00 to 6.00 higher. Heifers sold mostly 2.00 to 4.00 higher. The receipts were moderate with good demand. Next week will be the last Thursday sale before the summer break. All classes of livestock will be sold on Mondays during the month of June. Regular Thursday sales will resume July 11th.

27 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $525.55, low $409.63, median $494.43 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
