Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week's light test: Feeder steers and heifers recouped losses and traded 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Trade activity was light to moderate on moderate demand. Most of the trading area received some much needed rain that also cooled off the triple digit temperatures. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.

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