Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers traded with a lower undertone. Overall quality was not as attractive as the past couple weeks and the bulk of the offering was unweaned and lacking a full two rounds of shots. This week's sale included a complete herd dispersal as well. Supply light, demand moderate.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $450.73, low $378.91, median $420.13 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
