As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold unevenly steady on calves and yearlings. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady to 1.00 lower on breaker and boning cattle, with lean cattle selling 10.00 higher. While slaughter bulls sold too light to trend. Trade was active with a good demand and a heavy supply.

How this sale compares

Utah weighted averages
One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Utah auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
