Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeder receipts were too light for an adequate price comparison. Slaughter cows and bulls were unevenly steady from 1.00 lower to 3.00 higher. Demand was light on a light supply due to extreme temperatures in the area this week.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.78, low $364.36, median $447.56 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
