Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No trend available due to too few comparable sales except on breaker cows which sold 4.00 lower on a light test. Trade was active with a good demand with a light supply.

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.
