Compared to last week, very light offering for Friday's auction were mostly small packages and singles of calves and bulls weighing 400-650 lbs with many unweaned/short weaned and no vaccination program were not well tested. Slaughter steers and heifers on a light test sold steady to 2.00 higher with slaughter cows mostly average and low dressing cows trading near steady with a light offering of high dressing cows selling with a lower undertone.

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.
