Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, steers and heifers fully 5.00-15.00 higher based on a limited market test. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. The feeder market looks good so far this week with feeder futures sharply higher Tuesday, oil prices falling and the choice cutout also making solid gains.

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.
