Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No trends could be established on Feeder Cattle due to lack of comparable data due to light receipts from the previous week; Slaughter Cows/Bulls 3.00 to 5.00 higher on a light test with better quality and more receipts this week.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $504.18, low $358.36, median $431.26 across 16 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
