As filed

Compared to the last tested auction from three weeks ago, steer calves under 500 lbs traded steady with the sharp advance seen at the previous sale, 500-600 lbs 3.00-5.00 higher, and yearling steers over 600 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher. Heifers calves sold steady to 5.00 higher, and yearling heifers sold with a higher undertone with few good comparisons from three weeks ago. A really good run of cattle for a June sale in this area when there is this much green grass available, and the offering included seven pot loads of yearlings. Demand good and the supply moderate to heavy.

16 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $452.66, low $381.07, median $431.09 across 16 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
