Nice offering of cattle today. Due to taking the month of June off from reporting, there were no good comparables. The receipts were light to moderate with good demand.

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $525.55, low $409.40, median $493.66 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
