As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder cattle sold unevenly steady with an overall softer feel. Slaughter cows and bulls sold sharply higher. Quality was plain to average and demand was moderate.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $436.12, low $316.66, median $355.55 across 20 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
