Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Not enough comparisons on feeders for a price trend although steers and heifers sold with a higher to sharply higher undertone. Slaughter cows 15.00-18.00 higher compared to two weeks ago. Mid-weight cattle, especially steers are dollars higher than a couple of weeks ago with summer/fall feeder contracts climbing and feed costs lower than at the start of the year. Better weather and a larger run expected next week including some load lots of yearling steers.

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