As filed

Compared to last week, Feeder Cattle trends could not be established due to a lack of comparable receipts. Slaughter Cows mostly steady. Slaughter Bulls steady.

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.
