As filed

Compared to last week's lighter run of cattle, Slaughter Cows $6.00-$10.00 lower, Slaughter Bulls $10.00-$15.00 lower, Feeder Heifers and Feeder Bulls $5.00-$10.00 lower, Feeder Steers could not be established due to a lack of comparable receipts from last week.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $427.80, low $317.97, median $376.14 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
