Compared to last week: Feeder cattle were not well tested but a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher. Quality was plain to average and demand was good.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $415.76, low $319.98, median $368.98 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
