As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers steady on a light test. A lighter supply than last week, but still several strings of fancy calves and a couple of loads of yearling heifers in the offering. The highlight was a load of 760 lb heifers from a long time reputation backgrounder that sold for 369.50.

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.
