Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were mostly steady to 2.00 higher. Dairy steers were mostly steady to 1.00 lower. Slaughter heifers were mostly steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter cows were mostly steady to 4.00 lower. Slaughter bulls were down 9.00 based on a limited comparison. A good offering of value added feeder calves today and rainy weather conditions increased buyer participation.

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

25 sales

Steers 0–100 lb: high $265.98, low $209.68, median $240.39 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
