Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, no trend available for feeder cattle due to not enough comparable sales on calves and yearlings. Breaker cows sold steady, boning and lean cows sold 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls selling 5.00 to 6.00 lower on a light test. Trade was active with a moderate to good demand, with a moderate supply.

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.
