There were not enough feeder or slaughter cattle in the offering this week for a true price comparison. The extreme heat has limited cattle movement. Supply was very light with moderate demand.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.78, low $364.36, median $447.56 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
