Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: There was not enough data to call a trend on feeder steers but a lower undertone was noted. Feeder heifers sold mostly 3.00 to 12.00 lower and feeder bulls sold mostly 4.00 to 16.00 lower. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady. Quality was average and demand was light.

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.

Slaughter cattle
