As filed

Compared to last week, a light offering of feeders this week, mostly offered in small packages and singles with many unweaned/short weaned and carrying flesh. Overall steer calves were lightly tested as were the heifers but a light test of 450-550 lb heifers sold mostly 3.00-6.00 higher than last week's offering. A large offering of slaughter cattle and cows sold steady to firm with spots 2.00 higher on the high dressing cows.

14 sales

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $262.69, low $223.56, median $247.72 across 14 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
