Breaking Slaughter Cows sold 1.00-5.00 higher, while Boning and Lean Slaughter Cows sold mostly steady. Slaughter Bulls sold 5.00 lower.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $415.50, low $323.99, median $387.47 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
