As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold sharply lower on calves and yearlings. However higher undertone was noticed on feeders that sold in large groups. While slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 5.00 lower, with slaughter bulls selling 1.00 to 5.00 lower on a light test. Trade was active with a good demand on cattle that sold in groups, with a moderate demand for singles and small sets, 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.
