Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeders sold with a lower undertone but with no recent price comparisons available. Slaughter cows 8.00-10.00 lower compared to three weeks ago. Demand moderate to good. Supply moderate. First test of the market in nearly a month due to weather, the holiday and a downward trending market with several nice packages of 600-700 lb steers on hand. Fed cattle might have a chance to hold the line at 181.00/cwt this week following recent steep declines that are producing lots of red ink in the cattle feeding industry.

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.
