As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on steers or heifers due to last weeks light test, but a higher undertone was noted despite the CME feeder and live cattle contracts trading sharply lower. Slaughter cows and bulls traded steady. Trading activity was active on good buyer demand.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $460.86, low $298.16, median $378.00 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
