As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers lightly tested with a higher undertone noted. Feeder heifers not enough cattle for a market test. Steer and heifer calves unevenly steady on a light test. Quality average on a light run due to excessive heat. Slaughter cows and slaughter bulls 2.00 to 3.00 lower. A total of 114 cows and bulls sold with 77 percent going to packers.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $433.93, low $329.81, median $379.52 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
