No market trends could be established for feeder or slaughter classes due to limited comparable receipts, however, a higher undertone was noted for slaughter cows and bulls.

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.
