Reporter comment USDA

As filed

There haven't been enough recent comparable sales for an accurate trend. A large consignment of hard weaned home raised calves made up the majority of the feeder offering and sold with good demand. Supply was moderate.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $460.56, low $332.17, median $405.00 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
