Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, last week's sale had little to no comparisons for the current sale this week for feeder steers and heifers, due to the lower supply caused by winter weather conditions. Todays sale showed very good to good demand from buyers on a moderate supply. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $497.58, low $389.21, median $441.73 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
