Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Short summer sale today with harvest finishing up. Feeder cattle not enough comparable weights for market test. Limited offering of calves, not enough comparable weights for a market test. Slaughter cows sold unevenly steady. Bulls sold 3.00 to 4.00 higher using a limited test. Overall, demand moderate to good, quality mostly average.

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