As filed

Compared to last week, a light test of calves and feeders sold steady to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good for a light supply. Cattle futures were sharply lower on Thursday but the grazing type calves weren't affected by the bearishness. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $460.56, low $332.17, median $405.00 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
