As filed

Friday's auction had a very light run of feeders, with several small consignments of bred cows and pairs. One consignment of pairs mostly 7 yrs to short solid mouth bred back 1st stage with 350-400 lb calves sold with good demand from 3650.00-3850.00 per pair. A nice offering of slaughter steers and heifers sold firm to 3.00 higher and slaughter cows on a good offering sold mostly 4.00-8.00 higher.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $439.62, low $343.18, median $399.14 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
