Compared to last week, steers under 800 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher, while those over 800 lbs were steady to weak. Feeder Heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher on limited comparison this week. Demand was good. Slaughter Cows and bulls sold unevenly steady. In the feedlot trade, live sales sold 1.00 to 2.00 higher at 186.00 to 187.00. In the hay market, demand remained light, and prices were steady. Fewer trades in the marketplace continues, and therefore, movement of hay is minimal. Loads being delivered are to those with long term customers and hay that was contracted during the summer. Conversations this past week revolved around the lack of interest in grinder hay and expectations are, that we will not see that change until after the first of the year. The rain is a blessing for most areas but frustrating those who still have crops in the field awaiting harvest.

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.
