Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No market trends could be established due to limited comparable receipts. Lower-quality offerings and a lower undertone was noted for feeder cattle with decreased demand due to the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $462.86, low $335.63, median $409.72 across 21 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
