Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder cattle and calves all were unevenly steady. Cattle quality was not as good as last week, which says the market held together better then it may have appeared. Slaughter cows 6.00-7.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 5.00 higher. Most Slaughter type cows returned to feed or grass leaving slaughter buyers to either bid higher or stay on the sidelines. The dry weather is becoming a concern to everyone, rain chances are forecasted for this week but nothing definite.

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

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $433.93, low $329.81, median $379.52 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
