Compared to last week, all classes of Feeder Cattle unevenly steady. Slaughter Cows and Bulls steady on a light test of market. Quality good, demand fair.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $456.21, low $309.60, median $362.19 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
