Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, quality was better overall which drove prices higher. Feeder Steer & Feeder Bull trends could not be established due to insufficient receipts from last week. Feeder Heifers $8.00-$15.00 higher, Slaughter Cows $7.00-$10.00 higher, Slaughter Bulls $8.00-$10.00 higher. Quality good to fancy. Demand good to strong.

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