Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 8.00 lower overall, with no comparisons available for slaughter bulls and feeder classes due to limited comparable receipts, but a lower undertone was noted for slaughter bulls and a sharply lower undertone noted for feeder classes. Decreased demand for feeder classes was also noted.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $462.86, low $319.64, median $353.65 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
