Compared to last week: There were to few comparisons on feeder cattle to last week to establish a trend, however strong demand was noted on most ranges of quality weaned feeders. Slaughter cows were 3.00 to 6.00 higher and slaughter bulls were steady to 5.00 higher. Supply was light and demand was strong across all ranges.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $417.84, low $376.36, median $401.56 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
