Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold 10.00-20.00 higher, feeder heifers sold steady to 15.00 higher, and there was not enough comparable data to call an accurate trend on feeder bulls. Slaughter cows sold steady. Quality was average to attractive 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.
