As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder cattle were too thinly tested for an accurate comparison. Average dressing slaughter cows sold 0.50 to 2.50 higher and average dressing slaughter bulls sold 9.75 higher. Replacement cattle had no previous comparison. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $508.64, low $376.63, median $423.21 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Utah auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
