As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers sold 7.00 higher overall with no comparisons available for feeder steers and bulls due to limited comparable receipts, but a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows sold 4.00 to 13.00 higher, with slaughter bulls 2.00 lower.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $419.64, low $327.37, median $370.92 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
