As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago (last week was a special bred cow sale) steer calves weighing 400-650 lbs sold mostly 5.00-10.00 higher, with 650-750 lbs selling with a higher undertone on a light test. Feeder heifers weighing 400-600 lbs sold steady to firm with weights over 600 lbs lightly tested. Slaughter cows on a large offering sold fully steady to firm. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate offering going into the Memorial weekend with the best demand on the good quality 400-650 lb steers trading on and active market.

24 sales

Steers 0–100 lb: high $259.77, low $218.54, median $241.35 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
