Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Very slim comparisons to the last sale four weeks ago. Slaughter cows 13.00 to 15.00 lower. Several very high quality, attractive consignments on hand this week but very few of them weaned. Supply light, demand good.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $512.92, low $402.06, median $460.60 across 9 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
