Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate. The CME board closed sharply in the red during the week, and negotiated cash fat cattle lost a little of the big gains in previous weeks.

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

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $460.86, low $298.16, median $378.00 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
