As filed

Compared to the auction from three weeks ago, steer calves under 600 lbs steady, with feeder steers over 600 lbs and all weights of heifers trading firm to 10.00 higher. Once again an active market on all weights with some fantastic dollars per head. More fleshier cattle in the offering, but discounts seem less severe than what is usual for this time of year.

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.
