Compared to last week: feeder cattle were not well tested but a lower undertone was noted. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 9.00 to 10.00 lower. Quality was plain to average and demand was very moderate.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $464.52, low $344.61, median $406.13 across 10 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
