Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: There was not enough data to call and accurate trend on feeder steers and heifers but a lower undertone was noted. Feeder bulls sold from steady to 15.00 lower. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady. Quality was plain to average and demand was moderate.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $436.12, low $316.66, median $355.55 across 20 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
