As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, feeder cattle sold sharply higher on calves and yearlings. While breaker and lean slaughter cows sold 5.00 to 8.00 lower, and boning slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold too light of a test. Trade was active with a good demand and a moderate supply.

18 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $483.07, low $395.69, median $443.03 across 18 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

How this sale compares

Utah weighted averages

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.
