Compared to last week's sale; Steer calves 300-450 lbs sold steady-higher and 450-650 lbs were lower. Feeder steers 750-800 lbs sold higher. Heifer calves 400-600 lbs sold higher and there weren't any comparable numbers of feeder heifers. Market was uneven on larger numbers with active trade. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 3.00-5.00 lower. Excellent buyer attendance.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $432.90, low $340.72, median $396.69 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
