Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Steer calves 5.00 higher. Feeder steers lightly tested but a lower undertone noted with quality not as good as last week. Feeder heifers and heifer calves very uneven again this week. A lighter run saw some buyers absent today resulting in an uneven heifer trend. Despite a sharp drop in CME futures on Friday, the market held firm as strong demand continues to outweigh limited supply. Slaughter cows and bulls steady in a light test. Packers continue to struggle to fill orders as most slaughter type cows returned to feed or grass. August heat has dug in and isn't letting up anytime soon.

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.
