As filed

Friday's auction had light receipts of feeder cattle selling mostly steady on comparable sales from last week, with the main attraction being a consignment of good quality bred hfrs in the 2nd and 3rd stage (with all 3rd stage being AI bred) selling with good demand with 3rd stage hfrs selling from 5000.00-5350.00 per hd and 2nd stage hfrs from 4600.00-4900.00 per hd. A nice offering slaughter cows sold fully steady to firm, spots 3.00 higher on the high dressing cows.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $439.62, low $346.27, median $407.03 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
