As filed

As compared to the last market: Feeder calves sold steady, and slaughter cattle sold steady as well. Sold some FINE dairy/brahman cross bred heifers gentle, that brought the bank. 3-5 months bred $4400-5300.00 Very fancy.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $493.97, low $337.72, median $437.20 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
