Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady. Demand was good for a light to moderate supply made up mostly of yearlings. The excessive heat surely kept some cattle at home. Cattle futures have seen a nice rebound to start the week. Slaughter cows sold 8.00-10.00 lower.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
