Reporter comment USDA

As filed

As compared to the last market: Feeder calves sold strong today, very good market. Slaughter cattle were a little weaker, due to thinner and lower quality.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $493.97, low $337.72, median $436.36 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
