Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows gauging 2.00 to 7.00 higher overall, with slaughter bulls 2.00 higher, and feeder receipts too light to establish trends. Lighter receipts, decreased demand, and lower undertone was noted for feeders due to observance of Memorial Day holiday weekend.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $419.64, low $302.47, median $351.93 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
