Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, feeder steers steady to 4.00 higher with advance over 600 lbs. Feeder heifers 2.00-7.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. The feeder market is still red hot following the holiday with another round of record fed cattle sales last week helping to fuel the fire. Lots of smaller consignments this week with several of the better quality cattle weighing over 650 lbs and carrying some flesh.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $519.42, low $374.69, median $458.20 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
