As filed

Compared to last week, there were too few slaughter cattle to establish an adequate market comparison, however, a weaker undertone was noted. There were also too few feeder cattle to establish an adequate market comparison, however, a higher undertone was noted for feeders. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were light. Cattle quality was average.

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $214.68, low $160.66, median $201.23 across 9 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
