Compared to last week, a very light offering of feeder cattle were not well tested, with a nice offering of slaughter cattle and slaughter cows trading firm to 2.00 higher. There was one consignment of good quality 3-5 year old bred cows in the 2nd stage that sold with moderate demand.

22 sales

Steers 0–100 lb: high $259.77, low $224.09, median $243.68 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
