Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder cattle too lightly tested for market comparison. Average dressing slaughter cows sold mostly steady to slightly weak and average dressing slaughter bulls sold with firm undertone.

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

Slaughter cattle
