As filed

Compared to last week Slaughter Cows traded $1.00-$3.00 lower, Feeder Heifer $4.00-$10.00 higher, Feeder Steers $5.00-$8.00 higher, Feeder Bulls & Slaughter Bulls not well established. Quality fair to fancy. Demand good.

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.
