Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers 3.00-12.00 higher. Feeder heifers 475-550 lbs 5.00-15.00 higher with other weights steady. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. Some outstanding consignments again but not quite the overall quality seen last week. One highlight of the feeders was 54 head of unweaned steers with one round of modified live weighing 565 lbs @ 414.00. Beef cutout values have been stronger so far this week. The Cattle Report Feeder Meter currently estimates feedlot close outs at a whopping $550.42 per head.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $516.16, low $414.87, median $480.03 across 20 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
