Feeder bulls measuring 2.00 to 3.00 higher overall with no comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 4.00 lower overall with slaughter bulls 2.00 to 5.00 higher.

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.
