As filed

No trends could be established on Feeder Cattle due to limited comparable data, however all classes of Feeders traded with a higher undertone due to good quality and strong demand with unweaned and fleshier calves receiving a considerable discount; Slaughter Cows 2.00 to 4.00 lower; Slaughter Bulls 2.00 lower

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.
