Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter bull steady to 5.00 higher. Moderate to good demand, with average offerings including few nice attractive drafts. NEOK needs rain desperately, expecting receipts to continue to rise with the drought conditions.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $488.56, low $381.42, median $452.38 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
