Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: There were few comparable sales as turn out for this sale was higher, with rain and the holiday keeping cattle away the last two weeks. Sentiment seemed to be lower on steer calves and feeders, yet the #2 quality seem to be closing the price margin on the better kind of cattle. Heifers seemed to gain even though there were no comparable sales, demand was greater and a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cattle remain steady with higher yielding bulls still bringing over 2.00. Quality was fair to good with good demand and active trade.

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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $509.66, low $369.71, median $452.91 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
