Due to the heat again this week not enough feeders in the offering for a trend comparison with lower quality also in the offering. Slaughter cows steady and bulls scarce; Demand not establish and supply very light.

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.
