Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady except for the 500-600 lb heifers selling 5.00-10.00 lower with smaller groups offered. Demand was good for a light supply of calves, most un-weaned or short weaned. A bigger run of calves and yearlings is expected next week. Slaughter cows sold steady.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $492.10, low $375.17, median $453.16 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
