As filed

Compared to last week, based on a lighter test of feeder cattle, feeder heifers weighing up to 450 lbs. mostly steady with those weighing over 450 lbs. 7.00 higher overall. Feeder bulls sold 3.00 to 14.00 higher with spots as much as 29.00 higher. No comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts, but a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows mostly steady overall with slaughter bulls 6.00 to 9.00 higher.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $426.34, low $351.80, median $399.25 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
