Reporter comment USDA

As filed

There hasn't been a recent test to provide an accurate trend but steers and heifers sold with a firm undertone. Demand was good for a moderate to light supply. Slaughter cows sold steady to weak when compared to the last reported sale a month ago.

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.
