Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder cattle had too few comparisons to accurately trend, though higher undertones were noticed for calves under 600 lbs. Average dressing slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.50 higher. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $455.49, low $340.57, median $394.31 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
