Compared to last week, feeder steers under 700 lbs sold steady to 2.00 higher; 700 to 800 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 lower; over 800 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers overall sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher, with the exception of 800 to 900 lbs which sold 4.00 to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold uneven; leans and boners steady to 1.00 higher, breakers 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold 5.00 to 6.00 higher. Demand was good. Compared to last week, fed slaughter steers and heifers in the feedyards sold steady at 150.00. In the hay market, prices, once again were mostly steady and demand remained strong while stores continue to dwindle. Some folks are still swathing their last cutting of alfalfa which seems to be taking twice as long as yields are so light. Lots of corn and milo stalks have been baled as feed yards are trying everything to stretch that alfalfa hay.

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.
