As filed

Compared to last week, too few feeder cattle of any class for a market test. Slaughter steers and heifers sold 3.00-4.00 higher and slaughter cows steady to firm on a light supply. Overall supply very light with the demand good. Live and feeder futures both ended sharply higher on Friday as packers are spending more money to gather cattle for next weeks kill.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $439.62, low $346.27, median $407.03 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
