Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, true comparisons were somewhat limited but steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Demand was moderate to good for a moderate supply. Feeder Cattle futures started lower on Tuesday, but surged later in the day to close with sharp gains while live cattle saw moderate gains. Just like the weather, the runs of cattle are in a transition period with more calves starting to show up but still some summer grass cattle as well. Slaughter cows sold firm to 5.00 higher.

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.
