Compared to last week: Feeder steers are steady to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady with higher undertone in lighter weights. Slaughter cows steady to 5.00 higher. Slaughter bulls steady to 2.00 lower. Moderate demand with average to attractive offerings. NE OK still needs rain desperately.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $488.56, low $381.42, median $452.38 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
