Reporter comment USDA

As filed

*This week was customer appreciation with Utah Farm Bureau / Calf special.

Compared to last week, feeder steers sold unevenly steady, while feeder heifers sold sharply lower on calves and yearlings. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 18.00 lower, with slaughter bulls selling mostly steady to 2.00 higher on a light test. Trade was active with good demand and a heavy supply.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $508.64, low $376.63, median $423.21 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
