Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower. No trend available for slaughter bulls and feeder cattle due to limited comparable sales, with no replacement cattle sold last week trends are not able to set but they sold good demand. Good demand this week with active bidding on a light supply.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $433.70, low $334.13, median $380.56 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
