Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Comparable feeder trades too lightly tested for a market trend. Average dressing slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady to slightly weak. Little moisture received in the area over the past month, concerning many producers.

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