Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers mostly sold 3.00-10.00 higher, but spots 12.00-15.00 higher on yearlings weighing 650-850 lbs. The majority of heifers sold steady except for some heifer calves weighing 450-525 lbs selling 5.00-8.00 higher. Demand was good for a moderate supply that featured several loads of yearlings. Cattle futures have bounced back quite a bit from the lows a couple weeks ago, giving support to the market.

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