Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows steady to firm. Demand good. Supply light. Not much movement of feeder cattle in the area this week with a better test of the market shaping up for next week.

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