Reporter comment USDA

As filed

The 10-plus inches of rain that fell in this part of the state over the weekend caused lots of flooding and very muddy conditions. Supply on feeders this week was too light to determine a trend, while there were some undertones on feeder cattle reflecting the downturn in the market last week and today. Supply of replacement cattle was good, selling on a strong demand.

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.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
