Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: On a light test feeder steers sold mostly steady. Feeder heifers that fell into the Medium and Large 1 category were 2.00 to 5.00 higher those outside of that category were mostly 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Un-weaned and fleshy type cattle were being discounted by buyers across all ranges of feeders. Slaughter cows were mostly steady to 2.00 higher and slaughter bulls were not well tested.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $417.84, low $376.36, median $401.56 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
