Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers steady to 2.00 lower. Feeder heifers 500-600 lbs 4.00-6.00 higher with other weights near steady. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Feeder contracts lost some ground Tuesday as corn futures moved sharply higher. Lighter run following recent weeks of heavy movement of both feeders and cows. Noticeable increase in demand for replacement cows this week. It's greening up in some spots with about everyone getting rain over the past week and some spots getting a lot although follow up moisture will be needed to see much pasture recovery.

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