As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady. Demand was good for a light supply that included a few consignments of quality calves and a load of yearling heifers. Feeder cattle futures were sharply lower Thursday and have been volatile this week. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-5.00 lower.

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.
