As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers measuring 4.00 to 5.00 higher overall. No comparisons available for feeder steers and bulls due to limited comparable receipts, however, a higher undertone was noted for bulls. Slaughter cows and bulls gauging 1.00 to 2.00 higher overall. Today's head sale included a herd dispersal of 60+ mostly black bred cows and cow/calf pairs.

21 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $462.86, low $335.63, median $409.72 across 21 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
