As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers and heifers sold 6.00-8.00 lower with a few instances of steady to slightly higher. Today's offering was much smaller and contained a majority of unweaned, soft calves which were discounted. Slaughter cows traded 3.00-5.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 2.00-4.00 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.

Slaughter cattle
