Compared to last week, steers sold steady to 6.00 lower, except 8-wt steers sold 5.00 higher. Heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good. Negotiated cash feedlot traded 3.00 to 5.00 lower at 235.00 to 237.00. This past week in the hay market, there had been no change in demand, but some lower prices were reported. Trade remains slow to moderate. There is still plenty of hay to be put up and plenty of hay to be moved, but the weather has thrown a wrench on many producers plans. Grinding hay movement continues to be steady, while grass hay movement is very slow.

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.
