Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week's light test, steers and heifers sold with a higher undertone. A quality run of reputation type calves and yearlings was offered and met with good demand. Cattle futures have been volatile lately but surprised with a mostly limit up move Thursday. This came after what felt like a bearish announcement on Wednesday of a confirmed case of New World Screw Worm in Texas. Supply was heavy. 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.
