Compared to last week, a very light offering of feeders this week were not well tested, but sold with good demand and a firm undertone on small packages and overall kind and quality. Slaughter cows on a nice offering sold firm to 5.00 higher.

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.
