Boning and Breaking Utility Slaughter cows and slaughter bulls sold steady to 4.00 higher, while Lean cows sold steady to 2.00 lower. Demand was light to moderate as CME futures was under pressure it seemed like all week long and exhibited sharp losses again this week. Very light trading of negotiated fed cattle sales in feedlots sold 3.00 lower at 235.00. This past week in the hay market, demand remained slow and prices stayed steady for dairy alfalfa and grass hay. Trade remains slow to moderate. Producers continue with fall harvest while also putting up the last few cuttings alfalfa, which seem to be higher quality. There is still an abundance of forage across the state, but there is no new movement, as most producers are busy in the fields.

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.
