Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week's light test, steer and heifer calves under 700 lbs that were un-weaned and/or carrying flesh made up the majority of the calf run and sold 5.00-10.00 lower, spots 15.00 lower but the longer weaned yearlings sold steady to 5.00 higher. A few groups of weaned steers and heifer calves weighing 400-500 lbs sold near steady. The soft calves saw light to moderate demand while the longer weaned cattle in a more attractive condition saw good demand. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $452.11, low $345.78, median $422.91 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
