As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold sharply lower on calves and yearlings. Slaughter cows sold sharply lower, with slaughter bulls selling too light to trend. Trade was active with good demand and a 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.
