Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers and heifers were 2.00 lower with a good offering of slaughter steers and heifers today. No test on Holstein slaughter steers this week due to light numbers last week. Cows were 1.00 to 4.00 higher with bulls mostly steady but sharply higher on higher dressing bulls and active bidding on cows and bulls. Feeder steers and bulls were selling mostly steady with no test on feeder heifers due to no numbers last week.

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