Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher with lean cows and slaughter bulls selling up to 12.00 higher. No trend available for feeder cattle due to limited comparable sales. Replacement cattle are higher than last week. Good demand this week with active bidding on a moderate supply.

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

Slaughter cattle
