Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 1.00 to 3.00 lower and slaughter heifers were 2.00 to 9.00 lower with lower packer inquiry but, a good offering of high quality steers and heifers. Holstein slaughter steers were 3.00 higher this week. Cows were 1.00 higher and bulls 2.00 to 3.00 lower today. Feeder calves were too few to compare this week.

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