As filed

No trend applicable, as the previous sale was three weeks ago. The auction consisted of six loads, six half loads and many smaller packages. Demand was good online and in the arena, especially on advertised load lots.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $464.60, low $372.86, median $423.22 across 16 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
