As filed

Friday's auction had a light offering of feeders mostly unweaned calves, many bulls mostly selling in small packages and groups with a couple of groups of 5 weight steer and heifer calves selling with a firm to higher undertone. Demand was good on the unweaned calves and bulls as overall quality was good. Slaughter steers and heifers compared to two weeks ago sold 2.00-3.00 lower. A nice offering of slaughter cows sold firm to 4.00 higher than two weeks ago.

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.
