Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter breakers and boners cows sold 1.00 to 6.00 higher. No trend available for slaughter bulls and all feeders and replacement due to limited comparable sales. Good demand this week with active bidding on a light supply.

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