As filed

Compared to last week, feeder receipts were too light for an adequate price comparison, however steers and heifers sold with a mostly steady undertone. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 5.00 to 7.00 higher. A high quality run of replacement cattle this week with a herd sell out in the offering that included many 2nd and 3rd period cows and a few spring pairs that created good demand.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $442.30, low $334.00, median $393.23 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
