Compared to last week, no auction trend available due to very light receipts due to winter storms throughout Kansas this week. Compared to last week, fed slaughter steers and heifers in the feed yards sold steady form 172.00 to 173.00. In the hay market, demand remains low, and prices steady. Overall, total hay bought and sold was up, but there was still not much movement due to the holidays. Most folks are still not trading much hay and only delivering on old contracts. Many producers report that with the colder weather and winter storms rolling in, they are expecting an increase in movement over the next few weeks.

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.
