As compared to the last market: Feeder calves sold 5.00-10.00 higher, had some really good calves. Slaughter cows and bulls sold stronger. Had a good offering of stock cows today, that brought very good.

26 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $512.59, low $369.81, median $466.25 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
