As filed

Compared to last week, feeder bulls weighing up to 450 lbs. sold 12.00 lower and those weighing over 450 lbs. 6.00 higher, with no comparisons available for feeder steers and heifers due to limited comparable receipts. Feeder cattle sold higher in spots due to increased buyer participation from farmer feeders. Slaughter cows sold 4.00 to 13.00 lower with slaughter bulls mostly steady.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $462.86, low $319.64, median $356.83 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
