Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last reported sale two weeks ago, steer and heifer calves under 700 lbs sold 15.00-25.00 higher and heavier weights sold mostly steady. Demand was good to very good for a moderate supply at the Annual Customer Appreciation sale. A snow storm Monday likely affected receipts, but it is well documented that there are fewer cattle in the country. Cattle futures have surged over the Thanksgiving holiday. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $514.71, low $388.71, median $471.46 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
