Reporter comment USDA

As filed

*Close* Compared to last week: Limited comparable weights available. Feeder steers and heifers sold mostly steady to 1.00 lower. Calves too lightly tested for an accurate market trend. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower, not enough bulls for an accurate market trend. Overall, demand moderate, quality average.

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