As filed

Compared to last week, a very light offering of feeders this week were very lightly tested. A nice offering of slaughter cows sold on and active market trading steady to 3.00 higher. A dispersal of good quality 5-7 year old cows mostly in the 3rd stage sold with good demand.

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.
