Compared to last week: Feeder cattle were too thinly tested for an accurate comparison. Average dressing slaughter cows sold 0.50 to 2.50 higher and average dressing slaughter bulls sold 9.75 higher. Replacement cattle had no previous comparison. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $508.64, low $402.16, median $450.71 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
