Compared to last week: feeder cattle were not well tested. Slaughter cows sold steady. Quality was mostly plain and demand was moderate.

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.
