As filed

There was not enough feeders in the offering to establish a trend. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady; Demand not establish and supply very light.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $512.44, low $386.16, median $455.18 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
