Compared to last week steers sold steady to 5.00 higher except for the steer calves weighing 450-500 lbs selling 20.00-25.00 higher and heifers sold steady. Demand was good for a moderate supply with a few loads of yearling steers offered. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 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.
