As filed

Good day, kind of a light run of cattle today. As compared to the last market feeders calves were steady and slaughter cattle were higher and bulls were also.

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.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
