Friday's auction had very light receipts of feeder cattle with no comparable sales to compare selling in small packages and singles, but sold with good demand mostly bulls. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady to 3.00 lower on a light offering. Feeder cattle special next week.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $466.70, low $359.39, median $422.06 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Replacement cattle Per head
