Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter bulls and breaker and boning cows sold 1.00 to 2.00 higher, with lean cows 4.00 lower. No market trends available for feeder classes due to limited comparable receipts, however, a significantly lower undertone was noted for steers and bulls. Higher-quality offerings, but decreased demand and buyer participation, was noted for feeder classes.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $419.64, low $327.37, median $370.92 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
