Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifes were mostly steady on limited comparable sales. Demand was moderate to good. Several inches of rain and more predicted hampered cattle movement. Slaughter cows were steady.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.67, low $343.16, median $438.61 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
