Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher with many instances 7.00 to 10.00 higher on steer cattle over 600 lbs. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Excellent quality again this week and good condition on most of the cattle as well. Several large strings gave buyers some numbers to build their orders around. Demand was good for all weights, with the yearling cattle gaining back most if not all of last week's sharp losses. Supply heavy.

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