As filed

Friday's auction had a light offering of feeders that were lightly tested selling in small packages and singles and overall sold in last week's price ranges on similar quality and kind. Slaughter cows traded mostly steady with the bulk being average to low dressing cows. Few packages of bred cows and pairs sold in the offering.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $499.75, low $386.78, median $454.42 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
