As filed

Friday's auction was a special bred cow and pairs sale with a very light offering of feeder cattle selling in small groups and singles with few comparisons. A good offering of slaughter cattle on hand with slaughter cows selling with good demand. High dressing slaughter cows sold 2.00-5.00 higher with instances 7.00-8.00 higher on the fat high yielding cows with a good supply of slaughter cows selling with good weigh ups; bulk of the boning and lean cows sold fully steady to firm. Several high yielding slaughter bulls sold higher than the slaughter steers and heifers.

15 sales

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $262.69, low $223.56, median $246.96 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
