As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, the bulk of the sale was 6 straight loads of 849-906 pound steers that had no good comparisons from the last auction. Feeders and calves sold with sharply lower undertones. 126 head of 849 pound thin fleshed steers sold for 339.00 and 243 head of 906 pound steers sold for 337.00. Slaughter cows and bulls trading mostly steady on a light test.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $510.74, low $431.11, median $482.82 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
