Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No trend available due to not enough comparable sales on feeder cattle. While slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 5.00 higher, with slaughter bulls selling steady to 5.00 higher on a light test. Trade was active with a good demand with a moderate 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.
