Compared to last week, a very light run of feeders this week were not tested as rain fell throughout the trade area all week making very muddy conditions. A nice offering of Slaughter cows sold fully steady to firm.

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.
