Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold steady and heifers sold with a higher undertone. Demand was good, especially for a consignment of thin fleshed calves weighing mostly between 450-625 lbs. Also, a couple loads of steers and a load of heifers were offered. The market has rebounded since last weeks scare and buyers felt confident enough to pursue some cattle. Supply was light but included a few large consignments of reputation cattle. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
