As filed

Compared to last week, a very light test of feeder cattle sold this week with few comparisons as feeders sold mostly as singles and small packages. Slaughter cows on a nice offering sold firm to 3.00 higher.

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $262.69, low $218.12, median $248.48 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
