Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows gauging 5.00 to 11.00 lower overall. No comparisons available for feeder classes due to limited comparable receipts from last week, but higher-quality offerings and a higher undertone was noted for all classes, and sharply so for most weight categories.

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