As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, feeder steers between 300lbs and 500lbs sold for 1.00 to 7.00 higher. No trends available on feeder steers 600lbs and higher as well as feeder heifers and slaughter bulls due to limited comparable sales. Breaker and boner slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower while the lean cows sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Trade was active with good demand and a moderate supply.

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.

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Utah auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
