As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold sharply higher on calves and yearlings. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 7.00 higher on breaker and boning cattle, with lean cattle selling 7.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold too light to trend. Trade was active with good demand and a moderate supply.

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.
