As filed

Wednesday was the second day of Green City Livestock's Annual BBQ Customer Appreciation Sale, highlighting home raised calves and yearlings after Monday's yearling load lot sale. Wednesday's offering consisted of mostly smaller sized strings of home raised calves, most weaned and worked. Several consignments were in pretty thin condition with a good weigh up. A handful of extra buyers in the seats boosted the market, also helped by some solid gains at the CME. Much like Monday's yearling sale, some of these prices just needed to be seen to be believed. Supply moderate, demand very good.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $532.87, low $418.42, median $497.02 across 11 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
