As filed

Compared to last report feeder cattle 9.00 to 20.00 higher on calves and yearlings. With breaker and boning slaughter cows selling steady to 3.00 lower, and lean cattle selling 5.00 higher. While slaughter bulls sold too light to test. Trade was active with a good demand with a moderate supply.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $487.50, low $342.54, median $419.61 across 18 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
