Compared to last week, a much lighter test this week after last week's heavy offering best test was on steers weighing 600-800 lbs trading steady on last week's active market, 600-700 lbs heifers sold steady to firm, with instances on a pot load weighing 670 lbs and part load weighing 685 lbs selling 3.00-5.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher with the most advance on the boning and lean cows.

22 sales

Steers 0–100 lb: high $259.77, low $224.09, median $243.68 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
