As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was good for a moderate supply with several loads of yearling heifers offered and some going back to the farm to breed. Cooler temps are finally here and the cold front brought some much needed moisture along with it. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-6.00 lower.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $447.60, low $357.18, median $414.49 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
