As filed

Compared to the last tested auction from 2 weeks ago, steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder steers and heifers over 600 lbs steady. Demand was good to very good as there continues to be not enough cattle to fill everyone's orders, especially spring grazing cattle.

16 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $515.25, low $432.68, median $469.95 across 16 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
