Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold with not enough comparable sales to create a trend but a higher undertone was noticed in the steers and a lower undertone was noticed in the heifers. Slaughter cattle sold with not enough comparable sales to create a trend. No trend available for sheep and goats due to not enough comparable sales. Demand was good with bidding being active on 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.
