Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold steady to 5.00 lower, heifer calves under 550 lbs sold 10.00-20.00 lower, over 550 lbs mostly steady. Demand was moderate for a light to moderate supply that included 3 loads of 8 weight yearling steers. Most of the news lately has been negative towards the cattle market including the recent announcement of the reopening of the Mexican border to cattle later in August. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-5.00 lower, bulls sold steady.

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.
