Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers sold unevenly steady overall, with feeder bulls weighing up to 650 lbs. sharply higher with strong demand noted, and those weighing over 650 lbs. 5.00 to 15.00 lower., No comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts. A surplus of low-quality feeder offerings that did not meet USDA grading standards was noted and therefore not included in today's report. Slaughter cows sold 8.00 to 12.00 higher overall with slaughter bulls mostly steady. Today's replacement offerings included a fancy set of mostly black cows, young to mid-aged, 6-8 months bred and registered, and a fancy set of purebred red Limousin cows young to mid-aged.
