As filed

Compared to last report feeder steers sold sharply higher, with feeder heifer selling unevenly steady. While slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower on a light test, with slaughter bulls selling to light too test. While sheep and goats selling with too few comparable sales to test. Trade was active with a good demand with a 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.
