As filed

Compared to last week, Slaughter Cows steady on a light test. Slaughter Bulls and Feeder steers not well established due to insufficient receipts. Feeder Heifers and Bulls steady to 3.00 higher. Quality fair to good, with many feeder cattle carrying excessive flesh. Demand moderate to good.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $420.69, low $301.40, median $384.12 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
