Compared to last week, a lighter run of calves and feeders sold mostly 5.00-10.00 lower without many large groups to push the market. Demand was moderate for a light supply. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $524.49, low $388.35, median $466.90 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
