Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; slaughter and feeder cows traded 2.00 to 5.00 higher with instances 7.00 higher. Slaughter bulls followed the same trend at 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeder steers traded sharply higher on a limited test. Feeder heifers traded mostly steady with the exception of a 600 lb heifer trading lower. A nice offering of Cow Calf Pairs with a mainly steady market. A nice offering of all classes with a 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.
