Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compares to last week slaughter steers were 2.00 to 3.00 higher with slaughter heifers were 2.00 higher with better packer interest but a light test today. Holstein slaughter steers were mostly steady and Dairy/Beef slaughter steers 10.00 lower. Cows were 2.00 to 4.00 higher and bulls too few to compare. All classes of feeder calves were trending higher on fancy type feeder. A lighter offering today on everything due to producers farming this week.

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

Slaughter cattle
