Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows steady. Not many sellers of feeder cattle this week with the very humid weather and everyone hoping to see a price recovery after last weeks meltdown.

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

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Missouri auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
