Compared to last week, steers sold steady to 4.00 higher. Heifers under 600 lbs sold steady to 3.00 lower, while those over 600 lbs sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher. Hay market prices were mostly steady for all hay types; demand remains strong for alfalfa as supplies remain extremely limited in the southwest. However, thoughts are turning to the new hay season, with several contributors reporting new crop hay sales in the southwest region. This week's negotiated cash live sales of fed cattle in the Southern Plains reported at 114.00.

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.
