Buyer demand was moderate for a light sale supply. Compared to last week, Fed Slaughter Steers and Heifers in the feedyards sold limited on light demand at 135.00. Hay market prices remained steady for alfalfa and grass hay, with movement slow. Most producers were busy this past week cleaning up from the storms that marched across Kansas on Wednesday, December 15th. Damage ranged from minor, a few shingles off the roof or small tree branches down to devastating when wildfires erupted in 11 counties.

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.
