No trend established in any Feeder class as the Auction was closed last two weeks for Holidays; however definite higher undertones noted in all Feeder classes with long weaned cattle in high demand. Slaughter cows and bulls not reported due to technical issues at Barn.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $426.06, low $323.84, median $386.62 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
