Feeder heifers were too light for an accurate test but a steady to higher trend was noticed. Breaker slaughter cows sold steady, Boner cows sold 1.00 higher and Lean cows sold 1.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold 3.00 lower. The next feeder calf and slaughter cow sale will be next Wednesday May 22, 2024.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $456.58, low $350.42, median $402.45 across 12 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
