Slaughter cows sold 5.00-7.00 lower on softer demand than in prior sales and slaughter bulls were 5.00-7.00 higher.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $426.46, low $339.50, median $393.95 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
