Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; slaughter and feeder cows traded 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Slaughter bulls traded mostly steady on a lighter test. A nice run of feeder cattle with grass cattle selling sharply higher again this week. Also a nice run of all ages of cow calf pairs with higher undertones noted. Lots of moisture in the last two days making for an active market on feeders and replacement type cattle in high demand. A nice offering of all classes today. Sale again next Friday.

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

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