As filed

No market trends available due to limited comparable receipts from last week's sale, however, a higher undertone, higher-quality offerings, and increased buyer participation was noted for feeder cattle.

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.

Slaughter cattle
