Correction to Feeder and Slaughter Cattle

Compared to last week, both feeder steers and heifers were 5.00 to 15.00 lower, feeder bulls lightly tested. Slaughter cows sold steady to 4.00 higher with slaughter bulls selling mostly steady. Trade was active with good demand on all classes of cattle.

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.
