Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: there was not enough data to call a trend on feeder cattle. Slaughter cows sold steady. Quality was mostly plain and demand was moderate.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $334.94, low $307.18, median $307.85 across 3 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
