As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and bulls sharply lower overall with exception of 6-weight steers steady, and feeder heifers measuring 3.00 lower overall. Lighter demand and decreased buyer activity for feeders was noted. Slaughter cows gauging 2.00 to 9.00 higher overall with slaughter bulls 7.00 higher. Let it be noted that slaughter bulls marked "high dressing" were double-muscled.

34 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $422.87, low $321.98, median $393.73 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
