Compared to last week, Steers under 700 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher, over 700 lbs sold uneven 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher. Heifer under 650 lbs sold 3.00 to 5.00 lower, over 650 lbs sold 3.00 to 8.00 higher. Demand was good to very good. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher and bulls sold 2.00 to 3.00 lower. In the hay market, demand remained very light however, hay movement picked up a bit in the southwest region where some larger trades of grinding hay and ground and delivered were made. Prices have continued to soften as producers are trying to get rid of last year's hay which is in abundance, not only in Kansas but from Canada to Texas. The state remains dry and needs some precipitation but as harvest is ongoing, many are glad for the open weather.

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.
