As filed

Compared to last week, not enough sales to have an accurate trend on all classes of cattle. No trend available for sheep and goats. Trade was active with a good demand and a light to moderate supply.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $430.47, low $347.28, median $384.38 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
