Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last weeks sale; Steer calves had insufficient numbers to compare but a lower undertone was evident. Heifer calves sold 10.00-15.00 lower. Feeder steers were 5.00-10.00 lower and heifer yearlings sold steady. Trade was slow with light demand on smaller numbers. Slaughter cows were 4.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 2.00 higher. Excellent buyer attendance

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $432.90, low $314.16, median $379.18 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
