Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: There was not enough comparable data to call and accurate trend on feeder steers, feeder heifers sold steady to 8.00 higher, and feeder bulls sold 9.00 to 20.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady. Quality was plain to average and demand was good.

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