Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady. Demand was moderate to good for a light supply. The feeder offering included a few loads of yearlings and some long weaned calves that had been turned out on grass. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-7.00 lower than the last reported cow market two weeks ago, except the lean cows that sold steady.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $452.11, low $364.23, median $430.87 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
