No trends available due to the market closure for the holidays. An overall good quality offering saw strong demand from the buyers. Weaned, preconditioned calves continue to bring premiums.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $524.17, low $382.73, median $481.03 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
