As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: feeder cattle sold unevenly steady. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady. Quality was plain to average and demand was good.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $416.06, low $300.39, median $362.04 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Mississippi auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
