Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: All classes lightly tested due to rains over the weekend. Steers not well tested and a definite lower undertone was noted. Heifers sold 8.00-12.00 lower. Plainer quality led somewhat to the lower market and light to moderate demand. Slaughter cows were 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls were 8.00 higher with a good quality and demand.

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.
