Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers under 600 lbs 4.00-8.00 lower, over 600 lbs not well tested. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs steady to 4.00 lower, over 600 lbs not well tested. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 lower. Demand moderate. Supply moderate. The feeder market has had to recalibrate after the much lower feedlot trade last week and large losses on the board.

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