Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No feeder trend available due to limited receipts. Trade activity was light; however seats were filled with anxious onlookers to see where the markets are after a rough couple of weeks. CME cattle futures have tried to regain footing and closed in the green; pastures are also in good shape with several inches of rain recently. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady to firm.

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