Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: There was not enough data to call a trend on feeder steers, feeder heifers sold mostly 2.00 to 15.00 higher, and feeder bulls sold steady to 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 8.00 to 9.00 higher. Quality was average and demand was good.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $416.06, low $326.54, median $379.65 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
