In slaughter cattle, average dressing slaughter breaker cows sold for 12.00-13.00 lower, boner cows sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower, while lean cows sold for 9.00-14.00 higher. Bulls were average no change for this week. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.

29 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $455.49, low $350.37, median $408.28 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
