No recent sale for a market trend. Demand was good. Feeder cattle and live cattle boards have closed in the red most of the week, and negotiated cash fat cattle trading 10.00-11.00 lower.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $460.86, low $298.16, median $378.00 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
