Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday sale on a light offering; slaughter cows steady instances 6.00-8.00 higher with slaughter bulls steady instances 3.00-5.00 lower. Not enough feeder calves for a good market test. Few bred cows sold in small packages with moderate demand thru out the day, only slaughter cows in good demand.

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