As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs sold with a higher undertone on limited comparisons. Steers over 600 lbs steady to 5.00 higher and heifers over 600 lbs steady. A higher percentage of calves in the offering this week, as would be expected this time of year, with many sold in smaller packages. Demand was good and supply moderate.

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.
