Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week slaughter cows sold steady and bulls sold mostly steady instances 3.00 higher. Not enough calves for a market comparison. Demand was good for the light supply at Tuesday's sale. Some consignments of pairs and calves had to cancel due to wet and muddy road conditions in the trade area. Starting summer schedule with the next sale being June 11th.

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