Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold 6.00 to 7.00 lower with no comparisons available for slaughter bulls or feeder classes due to limited comparable receipts, but a higher undertone was noted for feeder cattle.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $419.64, low $302.47, median $368.94 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
