Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; slaughter and feeder cows traded 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Slaughter bulls traded 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Also a nice run of feeder cattle no trend today but higher undertones noted on comparable trades. Continued moisture in the area is bringing lots of green grass to a much needed dry region. Sale again next Friday with lots of nice Cow Calf Pairs on display.

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