There were several "colored" calves and plain calves in today's offering especially in the male calves. Feeder buyers continue to pay premium prices for the higher quality and weaned calves. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 3.00-4.00 higher.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $485.45, low $379.86, median $448.93 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
