As filed

Compared to last week, feeder receipts too few to trend, but a lower undertone and lower-quality offerings were noted. Slaughter cows sold 3.00 to 8.00 higher overall with 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.
