Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, calves and yearlings sold steady except for some mid-weight steers weighing 675-725 lbs selling 5.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good for a moderate supply that mainly featured loads of yearlings but there were still some attractive consignments of weaned, home raised calves offered. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower.

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.
