As filed

Supply of feeder cattle was moderate with a mixed offering of weaned and unweaned calves. No market trend was established as no sale was held last week due to the holiday. Demand was good, with particularly strong interest in feeder heifers. Slaughter cattle sold on good demand with a moderate supply.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $421.86, low $308.40, median $394.97 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
