As filed

Compared to the last reported market three weeks ago, most weights and classes of cattle sold sharply higher, from 12.00 to 15.00 with many instances of 20.00 to 25.00 higher. Slaughter cows 5.00 to 7.00 higher. Really hot market this week to match a heat wave outside with strong buyer activity even as quality fell off late in the day. Supply included four load lots of heifers with a handful of other larger consignments but a large percentage was offered in small packages. Supply moderate, demand very good.

25 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $447.60, low $380.31, median $427.30 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
