Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: It was a light test on feeder cattle this week. Feeder steers sold $3.00 to $4.00 lower. Feeder heifers sold $6.00 lower. Supply was too light on feeder bulls to determine a trend. Slaughter cows sold steady to $2.00 lower. No test on slaughter bulls

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $407.35, low $339.22, median $377.72 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Arkansas weighted averages
One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Arkansas auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
