Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last reported sale three weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 2.00-7.00 higher. Slaughter cows 5.00-8.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. Active feeder trade on a cool, rainy day with fed cattle at record highs and corn prices currently trending lower. Cattle futures are a different story so far this week, selling off partly due to concerns about post-holiday beef demand. Cow sale following the feeders featured a nice consignment of bred heifers due to start calving in mid September.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $519.42, low $374.69, median $457.99 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
