Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, a very light offering of feeder cattle this week with a light test of heifers selling mostly steady on similar weights and quality, steers had few comparisons. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm.

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $262.69, low $218.12, median $248.48 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
