As filed

As compared to the last market: feeder calves sold steady. Slaughter cattle sold high as I have ever seen, 5.00-10.00 higher. Top cow brought (1.96) that is smoking.

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.
