Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No trends established due to insufficient receipts, last week. Quality good to fancy with several value-added cattle. Demand moderate.

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

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
