Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady. Demand was good for a light to moderate supply made up mostly of yearlings. The excessive heat surely kept some cattle at home. Cattle futures have seen a nice rebound to start the week. Slaughter cows sold 8.00-10.00 lower.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $514.71, low $446.05, median $482.34 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
