Compared to last week, no trends available on feeder cattle due to limited comparable sales, however a higher undertone was noticed. Slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold steady. Trade was active with good demand and a moderate to heavy supply.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $483.07, low $384.43, median $425.67 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
