As filed

Compared to last week, no trends available on feeder cattle due limited comparable sales, however a higher undertone was noticed. Slaughter boner cows and bulls sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher while slaughter lean and breaker cows sold 2.00-3.00 lower. Trade was active with very good demand on moderate supply.

19 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $483.07, low $395.69, median $441.14 across 19 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Utah auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
