Compared to last week, slaughter cows gauging 3.00 to 9.00 higher overall with slaughter bulls mostly steady. No market trends available for feeder classes due to limited comparable receipts, however, increased buyer activity and a higher undertone was noted.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $462.86, low $335.63, median $409.72 across 21 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
