As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle were very lightly tested selling mostly in small packages and singles on a light offering. There were several consignments of bred cows and pairs selling with moderate to good demand mostly bred cows 4-7 yrs in the 2nd and 3rd stage and pairs 4-6 yrs with 150-200 lb calves. A large offering of slaughter cows sold fully steady to firm with last week's aggressive market.

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.
