Compared to last week, feeder steers under 800 lbs sold 1.00 to 4.00 lower; over 800 lbs sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 800 lbs sold 7.00 to 9.00 lower; over 800 lbs steady to 1.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold on a light test with a weak undertone noted. Demand overall was moderate. Compared to last week, fed slaughter steers and heifers in the feedyards sold steady at 143.00. The hay market continues to be crazy and has been difficult to keep up with the changes. Prices continue to rise as there is just not enough hay out there to cover all needs. Much of the hay has been spoken for but there are some producers who are holding onto their stores for use or sales later in the year. Reports of selling hay out from underneath folks have increased, adding to the frustration of many. Corn and beans are being picked in some areas and those crops that have failed, including milo, are being baled or chopped. The good news is that most contributors to the hay report received some rain and are hoping that it helps the wheat and rye.

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.
