Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; slaughter and feeder cows traded 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Slaughter bulls traded 4.00 higher. A nice offering today with a large run of slaughter and feeder cows. Also a small run of feeder cattle with still an active market for all weights. A few cow calf pairs also 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.
