Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold on a light test due to a light sale supply last week, however a firm undertone was noted. Slaughter cows sold uneven; breakers sold 8.00 to 9.00 lower, boners and leans sold 11.00 to 13.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold 12.00 to 13.00 lower. Demand overall was good. Compared to last week, fed slaughter steers and heifers in the feedyards sold steady at 137.00. Compared to the last report, prices firmed up in almost all regions, and seem to be all over the map. As one producer put it, the price of hay is whatever it takes to make the deal. While demand is good, hay movement is slow to moderate as many have been busy in the fields.

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.
