Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, on a lighter test, feeder steers and heifers remaining mostly steady overall with feeder bulls 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows gauging 1.00 to 4.00 higher with no comparisons available for slaughter bulls due to limited comparable receipts, however, a higher undertone was noted.

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $204.16, low $187.93, median $201.60 across 4 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
