As filed

Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow and Heifer sale with a couple of consignments of 2nd calf heifers mostly 3 -4 yrs in the 3rd stage with several 6 yrs to short solid mouth cows in the 3rd stage all selling with moderate to good demand. Feeder cattle offering was very light with not enough for a market test. Nice offering of slaughter steers and heifers sold steady to 2.00 higher with slaughter cows trading steady to 3.00 lower.

30 sales

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.
