As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold mostly steady with no comparisons available for slaughter bulls or feeder classes due to limited comparable receipts, however, a lower undertone was noted for feeder cattle due to the recent continued downturn in the futures market.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $462.86, low $319.64, median $353.65 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
