Compared to last week, not enough feeders or calves sold for an accurate market test. Slaughter cows were steady. Light supply had good demand.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $513.49, low $343.81, median $446.70 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
