As filed

Compared to last week, a very light offering of feeders this week as most cancelled due to weather. The light offering of feeders on comparable sales of similar weight and quality all sold well within last weeks price ranges or with a steady undertone. Slaughter steers and heifers on a light test sold firm to 4.00 higher with slaughter cows all trading with a fully steady to firm undertone.

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.
