As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher with spots 10.00-15.00 higher on the 550-625 lb weight range. Demand was moderate to good for a moderate supply. The market has found some support lately with fed cattle trading a few dollars higher last week and the futures market slowly recovering some of the losses seen over the last few weeks. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00-5.00 lower.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $514.71, low $446.05, median $482.34 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
