As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold firm to 8.00 higher, few instances up to 15.00 higher, mostly 400-450 lb and 650-700 lb steers. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Another high quality offering this week, with consignments that sorted up into nice sized bunches for buyers to build their orders around all day. Supply moderate, demand good.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $520.32, low $434.12, median $488.58 across 19 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
