Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 10.00-25.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. Strong feeder trade with several nice consignments aided by sharply higher feeder futures on Tuesday. The extended forecast for cool to cold weather is a positive for new purchases while the potential for a higher fed trade is also a factor.

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.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
