Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers not well tested but a higher undertone noted, quality was plain to average, extreme heat made for lower receipts, however demand was good. Slaughter cows held firm to 5.00 higher, slaughter bulls 2.00 lower, light receipts on slaughter cattle as well.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $442.90, low $327.33, median $400.64 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
