No recent price comparison as last couple week's receipts have been light due to the extreme cold temperatures and conditions that made traveling treacherous throughout the state. The undertone for grazing calves was firmer, while the heavier feeders had a weaker undertone. Hay market prices were steady for all hay types and demand remains strong, although fewer loads moved due to weather related issues. The sub-freezing temperatures last week tested everyone’s patience. This week's negotiated cash sales of fed cattle in the Southern Plains reported at 114.00.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.

Source: USDA AMS, as filed — nothing recomputed and nothing rounded. This summary aggregates the same sales the Kansas barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
