Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last feeder sale three weeks ago feeder steers and feeder heifers were steady on a limited comparison. It was a fairly active market with internet sales and in house buyers. Several strings offering buyers the opportunity to buy multiple loads of one owner cattle. Flesh conditions ranged from light fleshed cattle coming off grass to moderate plus cattle that were in a grow yard. Next feeder sale will be on July 31st, the 27th annual summer yearling and fall calf sale. Stay safe.

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