Good day, as compared to the last market feeder calves were a little stronger in spots and slaughter cattle were steady. Sold some nice groups of calves today.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $493.97, low $337.72, median $436.36 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
