Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last report, heifers and steers sold 10.00 lower. Feeding cows sold 11.00 lower, slaughter bulls and slaughter cows sold too light to trend. No trend available for sheep and goats due to not enough comparable sales. Demand was good with a moderate to heavy supply.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $483.07, low $384.43, median $425.67 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
