Compared to last week, feeder steers under 700 lbs sold steady to 4.00 lower; over 700 lbs sold steady to 4.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher; over 600 lbs sold 1.00 to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold steady to 4.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 6.00 to 7.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good. Compared to last week, fed slaughter steers and heifers in the feedyards sold 1.00 higher at 145.00. In the hay market, producers, grinders, and pellet mills increased the price of their products the 1st of October citing greater demand and higher input costs. Each week the expectation is that the hay price will plateau and each week we see higher prices. With limited supplies, it is increasingly difficult to find the hay needed to cover their needs and must travel farther from Kansas to find it.

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.
