Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Heavier run than last reported, nigh on double the Feeder offering with gains in Slaughter and Replacement Cattle as well, somewhat less than average attendance. Steers and Heifers both significantly lower than compared to last, while demand stronger for four to five weight Bulls. Slaughter Cattle in a weaking trend this week, Lean and Boning Cows $10.00-$11.00 per cwt lower; Breaking Cows and Bulls $13.00-$14.00 per cwt lower. Heiferettes, $162.50-$225.00 per hundred. Whether Goats, $215.00-$260.00 per head; Select 2 Billies, $320.00-$380.00 per head.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $323.44, low $312.52, median $319.72 across 5 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
