Reporter comment USDA

As filed

This week compared to 2 weeks ago, no trend available due to limited comparable sales on feeder cattle. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 5.00 lower. While slaughter bulls sold 5.00 lower on a light test. Slaughter sheep and goats sold with too few comparable sales to trend. Trade was active with a good demand and a moderate supply.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $438.13, low $351.94, median $394.33 across 12 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
