As filed

No trend as this was the first feeder special of 2026. A very nice offering with several strings of long time weaned feeder type cattle and grass cattle. A very active market with several new buyers in the seats and on the internet. Extremely higher undertones noted compared to the end of 2025. Sale again next Wednesday with another nice run of cattle.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $486.37, low $411.88, median $459.38 across 20 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
