Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, no trends available on feeder cattle due limited comparable sales, however a higher undertone was noticed. Slaughter boner cows and bulls sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher while slaughter lean and breaker cows sold 2.00-3.00 lower. Trade was active with very good demand on moderate supply.

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 $483.07, low $384.43, median $425.67 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
