Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 700lbs sold unevenly steady from 2.00 lower to 3.00 higher and steers over 700lbs had little to compare to last week. Heifers under 650lbs sold 2.00 to 6.00 higher and heavier weights were not well tested. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower. Demand was good on a light supply this week.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Slaughter cattle
