As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, the better quality weaned steer calves weighing 500-700 lbs and heifers weighing 500-550 lbs and 650-700 lbs sold steady, all other weights were not well tested. Feeder steers and heifers weighing over 650 lbs overall quality was not as attractive as two weeks ago with cattle carrying lot more flesh as weighing conditions were not as good. Slaughter cows traded steady with last week.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $499.75, low $396.50, median $455.03 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
