As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers measuring 6.00 to 7.00 higher overall, with feeder bulls 5.00 higher, and no comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts. Slaughter cows gauging 2.00 to 8.00 higher with slaughter bulls sharply higher, and increased demand was noted for slaughter classes. Today's replacement offerings included a fancy set of mostly black cows from one producer.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $419.64, low $302.47, median $351.93 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
