Compared to 2 weeks ago: It was a light run, not enough data to call a trend but a lower undertone was noted.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $365.05, low $310.94, median $333.55 across 3 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
Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
