As filed

Compared to last week, yearling steers and heifers sold steady to firm, calves sold steady to lower depending upon the health program as the un-weaned calves and those fresh off the cow are starting to see discounts. Demand was moderate to good. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 lower.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $492.10, low $375.17, median $456.16 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
