As filed

Compared to last week, a very light test of feeders were not well tested with feeders selling in small packages and singles many were unweaned. Slaughter cows on a nice offering traded fully steady to firm, spots 2.00 higher on the high dressing cows. Cattle on Feed Report was released Friday afternoon with On Feed at 102 percent same as average guess; Placements came in at 104 percent, 2 percent below average guess; with Marketings at 97 percent, 1 percent below average guess.

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.
