As filed

Too few feeders for a market comparison. Slaughter cows sold 4.00 higher and bulls sold steady from two weeks ago. Demand moderate on a light supply.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $453.97, low $335.72, median $395.83 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
