Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Considering the hot weather today, there was a decent supply on feeders. With the feeder board up sharply this week, feeders sold on good demand, especially on weaned calves. Due to no sales being reported a week ago, no trends could be determined.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $457.38, low $307.99, median $389.85 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
