Compared to last week, Feeder Steers sold steady to 5.00 higher with some instances of 10.00 higher on the 600 lbs cattle. Feeder Heifers sold uneven 5.00 lower to 5.00 higher. Demand was good. Slaughter Cows sold 3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold steady. In the hay market, demand remained light, and prices were steady. Buyers are still not buying, but sellers aren't interested to selling at these lower prices, putting the hay market at a standstill. Loads being delivered are to long term customers and hay that was contracted in the summer. Kansas is finally receiving rain, and although it makes things muddy and hard to work in, I think most welcome it to as it will replenish the soil moisture and fill up ponds. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor for November 5th, Significant rains fell over much of Kansas, into southeast Nebraska and southeast Colorado.

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.
