Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly steady. Demand was good for a light to moderate supply highlighted by a couple loads of yearling steers and a few consignments of fancy calves. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 lower than two weeks ago.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $524.49, low $388.35, median $466.90 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
