As filed

No comparison today, as there hasn't been a recently reported feeder sale. A majority of the auction consisted of load lots of both calves and yearlings. Good demand today with lots of interest in the consignment of 500 800-900 lb steers. Slaughter cows: Not enough slaughter cows or bulls for comparison today.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $484.12, low $359.91, median $414.58 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
