Slaughter cows sold steady to firm with slaughter steers and heifers selling steady to 3.00 higher on a light test.

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.
