Compared to last week, feeder steers overall sold 1.00 to 6.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs sold steady to 2.00 lower; over 600 lbs sold 2.00 to 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 6.00 to 8.00 lower. Demand overall was moderate. Compared to last week, fed slaughter steers and heifers in the feedyards sold 1.00 higher at 144.00. The hay market was a bit calmer this past week, meaning we didn't see the huge upward changes that we have seen in recent weeks. Folks are busy in the fields either harvesting, planting wheat, or baling whatever they can find left to bale. Several hay fires were reported last week which stings even more when every bale is needed.

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.
