Compared to two weeks ago, steers 700-900 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher with steers 900-1050 lbs selling 10.00-20.00 higher along with heifers 650-950 lbs selling steady to 15.00 higher. Demand was good from the larger than normal crowd of order buyers and farmer feeders in the seats.

20 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $519.86, low $419.84, median $481.96 across 20 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
