As filed

Due to light offering last week a limited number of comparisons were available. The demand for feeder calves was very strong and they sold sharply higher on the few comparisons. Slaughter cows sold steady and slaughter bulls sold 3.00-5.00 higher.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $420.49, low $314.93, median $390.68 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
