As filed

Friday's auction had a very light offering of feeder cattle selling mostly in small packages and singles and were lightly tested. Several small consignments of bred cows and pairs sold with moderate to good demand. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady to 2.00 lower.

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.
