Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago; slaughter cows unevenly steady instance 4.00 higher with slaughter bulls mostly steady instances 3.00-5.00 lower not as attractive as last sale. Light offering feeder calves so no comparisons available. Demand good with good buyer participation. Summer schedule: Next sale will be JULY 11.

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