As filed

Compared to last week, steers over 750 lbs and heifers weighing 600-800 lbs sold steady to 3.00 lower. Steers under 750 lbs and heifers under 600 lbs and over 800 lbs not enough for market test. Good demand for a light supply, and very good demand for several full loads of nice steers coming off grass.

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.
